1 SHOW ME (CHERRY BABY)
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry
I found you wanting
Like everyone
Always trying, happy lying
'Cos I'm no stranger to the ways of the world
I felt like crying
I felt like dying
We took a coffee, you took it so strong
Shaded from the neon
I could still see your eyes
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Found in the gutter
With a knife in her back
Letter said sorry, please don't worry
She had a lover
With danger in his eyes
I tried to tell her
But she had the wildest heart
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
2. ELEGANTLY WASTED
Look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's running
Why don't me make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Look at all the crimes
Baby's down on the world cause she owns it
Making up her life
Nothing more, nothing less makes it voodoo
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Well look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's fine
Why don't we make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life
Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted (feels like, feels like)
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Elegantly wasted - you could be certain
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Feels right, feels right
3. EVERYTHING
Yeah, we're not the only ones
Who bleed for the love that's lost
Trust, like the air we breathe
Live, you've got to loose some sleep
Everything you do for me
Everything I do for you
Everything you do for me
No one else comes close to you
You laugh when the cool get's cold
Cry when the punchline's told
Fall into the arms of God
Pray that your soul's not sold
Change keeps us moving on
All alone as you walk through the crowd
Live we're gonna loose some sleep
Trust like the air we breathe
Anything I do for you
Anything you do for me
The way you see the world (x3)
The way
Everything you do for me
Everything I do for you
The way you see the world
No one else comes close to you (x3)
4. DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD
You shot your mouth off like a kid
Who's scared to have a heart
Your loosing grip of what really matters
Cause you don't know where to start
You wake up in the morning
With a starfuck for a friend
The things you do are so in tune
With what you said you hate
What's giving you the will to live
Is it looking for revenge
The only laugh that you've got left
Is hiding from the pain
What must have happened to your soul
Is skinning you alive
The thing you fear most is love
And that's buried deep inside
So deep inside
Don't lose your head
Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price
The heart your building out of rock
Is turning into sand
Cause you never took the time to think
What it means to be a man
You act like you got the answer
When the question's never asked
I've been to where your coming from
But the postcards weren't so bad
The knife I carry has been sharpened
On the mouths that won't keep shut
I'll stab at you in the darkness
Cause I'm trying to shed some light
Your point of view is so meaningless
If you ever had one at all
All you seem to care about
Is who's gonna take the fall
Who's gonna take the fall for you
Don't lose your head
Now I can't do the time for you
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price
Don't lose your head
Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price
Don't lose your head
If you can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price
Don't lose your head
You can't pay the price
Don't lose your head
You know I can't do the time
5. SEARCHING
I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, give me some
Have we lost direction
Washed our hands of blood
I'm in need of sensation
Is there more to this love
Saw a mother screaming
She had lost control
Of what she once believed in
And she was not alone
If you could face the pain
And I could do the same
It would be clear tomorrow
But will it start, but will it start again
I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, give me some
Saw a mother screaming
She had lost control
Of what she once believed in
And she was not alone
Have we lost direction
Washed our hands of blood
I'm in need of sensation
Is there more to this love
If you could face the pain
And I could do the same
It would be clear tomorrow
But will it start, but will it start again
I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, show me some
I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, show me some
Love
6. I'M JUST A MAN
I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain
My mother ran
My father left town
But we still have what's necessary to go on
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
I'm part of you
Your part of me
There's nothing said
That cannot be undone
My brother's sane
His heart is so strong
He's killed some pain
To himself nearly did the same
It washed away
Into the cruel sea
Like everything that's built upon the sand
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
Sweet sister T
She loved so long and hard
Kept to herself
Until that right man came along
Some men they lie
Some men they cheat
But now she's found
Someone to be as strong
I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain
My father ran (flesh and blood)
My mother left town
But we still have (flesh and blood)
What's necessary to go on
I'm part of you
Your part of me
7. GIRL ON FIRE
I just landed
Girl on fire
I felt the heat
From Sydney to London
Well she shut my mouth
With her repartee
I opened her's
With the rest of me
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Out of the shadows
Comes a dirty song
The same old faces
Try to keep you in line
I saw you laughing
At the very first show
You lit up the city
From the twenty-sixth floor
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
What's saving her
Baby burn burn burn (x3)
I just landed
Girl on fire
I felt the heat
From New York to London
Well she shut my mouth
With a repartee
I opened her's
With the things that I say
Girl on fire
That's the heat that burns
Girl on fire
How the flames make you yearn
Girl on fire (x3)
Girl on fire on
Flames are rising (x4)
8. WE ARE THROWN TOGETHER
I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile
We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand
Let's go
I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile
The cage is found
Fool's gold inside
Is there a key to the
Bars of the mind
We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
You look for love
You just get skin
You turn around
And the changes begin
We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
Takes a second for your world to change
Satisfaction's what you give away
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Picks you up and drives you down again
Takes a second for your world to change
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Throws you down and picks you up again
Satisfaction's what you give away
We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand (x3)
9. SHAKE THE TREE
I'd love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost it's crown
All night talking jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Round the corner comes salvations
Made to order is what you found
Why oh why do we fool ourselves
Is it just the need to carry on
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down
Glamour takes it's toll on you
You throw away what's out of view
Pearls of wisdom hang round your neck
They warm to the touch of your perfect skin
High, high, high
High, high, high
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down
Shake the tree you find
(I see her walking in perfect time)
Shake don't cut it down
(She gives me reason)
To carry on
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To never say die
I see her walking
In perfect time (shake)
She gives me reason (the tree you find)
To never say die
Shake the tree you find
10. SHE IS RISING
Those pretty feet are stuck deep in the ground
All all that junk keeps coming
Must be the time to rearrange it all
Another place another time has called
She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door
She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
One day he wakes up to a different drum
Rhythm coming from so far away
He had no time to tell anyone
His hips were moving to a perfect sway
He is rising above this world
He is heading for an open door
He is rising above this world
He is heading for an open door
Give it up, let him in
All he wants is to begin
Give it up, let him in
All he wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up (she is rising)
Let him in (he is rising)
All he wants is to begin (aIl I want is to begin)
Give it up (she is rising)
Let him in (he is rising)
All he wants is to begin (all he wants is to begin)
She is rising
He is rising
All I want
All I want is to begin
She is rising
He is rising
Give it up
We are rising
She is rising (x2)
11. BUILDING BRIDGES
And where has innocence gone
Do we know too much
Are you comfortable in your skin
When does the strip begin
All the words we are fed
And the need to belong
Cause we can't get connected
Baby try
Where has our innocence gone
We whisper and touch
It's like we should start again
When does the strip begin
Some are taken some are given
Building bridges for the living
Some are taken some are given
There's nothing if the truth won't survive
Where has your innocence gone
Do you just know too much
Are you comfortable in your skin
When does the strip begin
Some are taken some are given
Building bridges for a living
Some are taken some are given
There's nothing if the truth won't survive
Some days I am everything I hate
There's nothing if the truth won't survive
Some days I am everything I hate
There's nothing if the truth won't survive
Some days I am everything I hate
There's nothing if the truth won't survive
Some are taken some are given
Building bridges for a living
Some are taken some are given
There's nothing if the truth don't survive
And where has innocence gone
Do we know too much
Are you comfortable in your skin
When does the strip begin
12. SHINE
Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light
Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine
When does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine
When it does that thing
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, so bright
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
The silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
