1. RISE UP SIZE UP

Too high to reach
Too deep to hide away
I pray maybe we should end this game
Too far to care
Too close to look away
I pray maybe we should break this chain

I don't need a lover
But i do need a friend
I don't need a cover
To pretend

Too sad to cry
Too good to laugh away
I pray may a solution be found
Too hard to work
Too sound to throw away
I pray may we stop this merry go round

I don't need a angel
But i do need some peace
I don't need the bible
I need release

Get up

Rise up / size up
We don't give up and don't back down
Don't lose face don't turn around
Rise up / size up
Don't show weakness never cry
Cheek for cheek eye for an eye
Eye for an eye


2. POP 'TIL YOU DROP

You're just another superhero
On satellite all day
Straight from the supermarket
Up to the milky way
Now you say super-duper
Fake pleasure and fake pain
We're all your superlovers
But we don't recall your name

You're just another superzero
Cocaine bought your airplay
Cheap when the supersale's on
But you don't care anyway
You're travelling supersonic
Drowning in champagne
We know you're superficial
You're losing your own game

Pop 'til you drop
Pop 'til you drop
Pop baby
Pop 'til you drop
Pop 'til you drop

You just wannabe superfamous
Sell your mother and your soul
Shone like a supernova
Now you suck like a black hole
You loved the super troopers
Those songs that made you cry
But now you're nothing super
And you dreams become a lie

Pop 'til you drop
Pop 'til you drop
Pop baby
Pop 'til you drop
Pop 'til you drop
From the basement to the top


3. BITTER MOON

Bitter moon
I know who you are
I know what you need
When the day is over
Bitter moon
I know where you hide
I know your disguise
When the night is over

Seems like everything you love you will despise
Turn so many truths in too many lies
Oh oh

Bitter moon
You shine so cruel
You light up my loneliness
Bitter moon
You catch the fool
The sandman knows you're my distress
Bitter moon please let me sleep

Bitter moon
I know who you serve
I know who you cheat
When the day is over
Bitter moon
I know what you buy
I know what you sell
When the night is over

Seems like everything you touch you will destroy
You feel hate instead of feeling joy
Oh oh

Bitter moon
You shine so cruel
You light up my loneliness
Bitter moon
You catch the fool
The sandman knows you're my distress
Bitter moon please let me sleep
Please let me sleep
Please let me sleep


4. A.U.T.O.M.A.T.I.C. LIFE

I guess i'll be okay
A fragile smile, an old clichée
Few hours to enjoy every day
Tomorrow'll be the same
A fragile smile, a touch of fame
But i don't want to be part of this game
They all try to touch my heart
But it seems i touch the stars instead
And now it feels like love is all dead

Stuck in the wrong dimension
No one to blame nothing to mention
Another day of electric light
I'm locked inside this automatic life

I'll be alright
Oh yes, i'll be okay
But i'll still be dreaming
For you to come my way
I'll be alright
Oh yes, i'll be okay
But i'll still be waiting
For you to blow me away

I guess i'll take it all
The space, embrace, the rise and fall
Just something to hold on to and recall
I can't beat gravity
The supreme dream of feeling free
I must be my own enemy

Stuck in the wrong dimension
I'd give my soul for sweet redemption
Another day of electric light
Video me in this automatic life

I'll be alright
Oh yes, i'll be okay
But i'll still be waiting
For you to come my way
I'll be alright
Oh yes, i'll be okay
But i'll still be dreaming


5. UNDER MY SKIN

Saturday night i was looking for trouble
Could find no one who would put up a fight
Went to a club and saw you dirty dancing
Despite myself i fell in love at first sight

Come on come on
Come on get under my skin
Come on come on inject my desire
Come on come on
Come on get under my skin
Come on come on my inside's on fire
For you

Im begging you baby please
You see i'm down on my knees
Don't be cruel stop your big tease
Big tease big tease
Yeah

Sunday morning and i feel like a football
Kicked around and bent right out of shape
I won't give up no i won't give in easy
I've got to get you - yeah
Make no mistake
No more


6. ME ASTRONAUT

Leave me alone
Leave me alone my dear
And don't call on the phone
I will not answer oh no
Leave me alone
Leave me alone up here
In this world of my own
Where i feel safe and at home

Call me astronaut
I am ready for take off
All systems are go
Astronaut i say goodbye
Forever you know

Wide open space
Wide open space i need
Here the air is quite thin and
There's no light getting in

Call me astronaut
Count three-two-one lift off
All systems are go
Astronaut i say goodbye
To my friends and foe

Dancing on a sunbeam
Riding on a jet stream
Loving if we only could
Dancing on a moonbeam
Drifting in a daydream
Leaving never felt so good

Wide open eyes
Wide open eyes i need
As i stare into space
It is your picture i face
Wide open eyes
Wide open eyes can't see
Where we lost our way and
Where our love went astray

Leave me alone


7. THE MORNING AFTER

The morning after the night before
I can't remember anymore
I must've passed out here on the floor
Ask myself why
The morning after the night before
I feel sick and my body's sore
I can't believe you walked out the door
The morning after the night before
I played the fool i played the whore
Another night of my private war
Ask myself why

Why do i always abuse, why always want more
Why didn't i realise what i had before
Why couldn't i love and cherish
Why was i such a fool
The night before the morning after
The night before

The morning after and i'm alone
You packed your bags and left for home
My last chance i have definitely blown
The morning after the life we had
Now love is dead just like my dad
Wished for a happy ending not one
So damned sad
Ask myself

Why do i always abuse, why always want more
Why didn't i realise what i had before
Why couldn't i love and cherish
Why was i such a fool
The night before the morning after
The night before


8. ROCK STEADY BEAT

There's too much confusion
That's the big headline
Too much is illusion
'Cause it's 1999
There's too much pollution
That's a sign of the times
Too much of intrusion
Dance and you'll be fine

To the rock steady, rock steady beat
To the rock steady, rock steady beat

Too much information
Always on deadline
Too much conspiration
'Cause it's 1999
Too much isolation
Baby don't resign
The only medication's
Dance and you'll be fine

To the rock steady, rock steady beat
To the rock steady, rock steady beat

So you want to be a rock'n roll star
You better get up and learn to play a guitar
So you want to be a rock'n roll star
You better get up and remember who you are

Dying institutions
Rise of violent crime
Credit to the nation
Man it's 1999
You want revolution
For a nickel and a dime
The answer is frustration
But dance and you'll be fine

To the rock steady, rock steady beat
To the rock steady, rock steady beat

So you want to be a rock'n roll star


9. SHINE ON

Never give up on love
You got to believe it's true
Never give up the faith
To carry on and push on through
Never resign yourself
And settle for second best
Hold your head up high
And let your heart do the rest

Know who you are
Reach for a star
Ah-ah-ah

Shine on shine on
Through the dark night shine on
Shine on shine on
You'll be alright if you shine on

You got to believe in love
And never give up your dreams
Look into the future
Don't regret all that has been
You got to love yourself
Before you love someone new
The world's your oyster
Ripe for the picking
The stage's lit up for you

Trust who you are
'Cause you're the star
Ah-ah-ah

Shine on shine on
Through the dark night shine on
Shine on shine on
You'll be alright if you shine on
Come on come on

Shine on shine on
Shine so brightly shine on
Come on come on
Shine on shine on
Love all mighty shine on


10. WALL OF SOUND

We have to find a way
And the only way is out
Out of the mess
That this is all about
We have to find a way
And the only way is up
Leave 'em all behind
So we can make a new start
Straight from the heart
Or we will fall apart

We have to find a way
And the only way is hard
But that's alright as long
As we're together so strong
We have to find the way
And the only way is back
Back to ourselves
So we can make a new start
Straight from the heart
Or we will fall apart

Breaking through a wall of sound
Reaching for a higher ground
All the reasons lost and found
Time to leave and turnaround
Turnaround and around
Turnaround

We have to find some place
Some place that we are safe
Some place where we can rest
And we can call home
We have to find someone
Someone who'll support
Someone to lean on
And someone who will see
We only wanna break free
And fuck the old record company

Breaking through a wall of sound
Reaching for a higher ground
All the reasons lost and found


11. COMA

You haven't been crying
Crying since you learned to talk
You haven't been falling
Falling since you learned to walk
You haven't been stumbling
Stumbling since you learned to move
You haven't been dancing
Dancing since you learned to groove
Get into the groove
Get back
Get back

Wake up before it's too late
We used to get high and it used to be so great
Wake up before you're checkmate
We used to get far on a scar
Please baby talk to me
Hear me please me

You haven't been dreaming
Dreaming since you were in school
You haven't been laughing
Laughing since you know the rules
Forget all the rules
Get back
Get back

Wake up before it's too late
We used to be close and it used to be so great
Wake up baby don't hesitate
We used to be friends and never been so straight
Wake up baby don't be afraid
We used to get high and it used to be so great
Wake up before you're checkmate
We used to get far on a scar
Please baby talk to me
Hear me please me


12. TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT

I get to the airport
Around ten to three
Then i pass the border
Cigarettes and duty free
I find a fashion magazine
To pass the time
Now i really miss you
Girl but i still feel fine
I get on the airplane
With my old guitar
Someone's staring at me
Yeah it's true baby
I am a star

Transatlantic flight
I'm alright
No gravity no night
Flying out of sight
Transatlantic flight
Hold on tight
No, i'm not scared of heights
Uh uh uh uh uhhhh
Uh uh uh uh uhhhh

I look out the window
Watch the streets fade away
Now i'm almost crying
Maybe i should have stayed
I'm flying so high above
The clouds we got so far
Then i loose myself
Yeah it's true baby
I am a star

Transatlantic flight
I'm alright
No gravity no night
Flying out of sight
Transatlantic flight
Hold on tight
No, i'm not scared of heights
Uh uh uh uh uhhhh
Uh uh uh uh uhhhh


13. LET ME FLY WITH YOU

I wake from dreams of you
And find that they're all coming true
You are lying next to me
There's no greater fortune free
In your arms so dear
There's no sorrow and there's no fear
Drift off to a distant land
We'll be dancing hand in hand
Making love on golden sand

Let me fly with you
On wings of love with you
I'll make your every wish come true
Just let me fly with you

Morning light shines through
Into the window onto you
You take my breath away
Living this dream day for day
Forever i hope and pray

Let me fly with you
On wings of love with you
I'll make your every wish come true
Just let me fly with you
