Lyrics


1. WHEN YOU'RE GONE (EDIT)

Hold on to love
That is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above
Everything's stinking
They're not around you

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely
Sleeping without you
And in the day
Everything's complex
There's nothing simple
When I'm not around you

But

[Chorus]
I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do - Baby
And it's going to carry on
That is what I knew - Hey baby

Hold on to my hands
I feel like sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind
Everything's stinking
Stinking without you

[Pre-Chorus]

And

[Chorus]


2. FREE TO DECIDE (LIVE VERSION)

It's not worth anything more than this at all
I'll live as I choose or I will not live at all
So return to where you come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well

[Chorus]
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all

You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind - Behind - 'Cause

[Chorus]

I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all
At all - At all - At all


3. SUNDAY (LIVE VERSION)

[Verse]
Oh - Do you know?
Where to go? - Where to go?
Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind - Wanna leave me behind

[Chorus]
You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me - You mystify me - You mystify me

Oh - When he walked into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
Does he really have to go?
You mystify me - You mystify me - You mystify me

And I couldn't find the words
To say "I love you"
And he couldn't find the time
To say "I need you"
It wouldn't come out right
It wouldn't come out right
Just came out all wrong

[Chorus]

[Verse]


4. DREAMING MY DREAMS (LIVE ACOUSTIC VERSION)

All the things you said to me today
Change my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me
Into my faith - You and your baby

[Pre-Chorus]
It's out there - It's out there
It's out there - If you want me I'll be here
It's out there - It's out there
It's out there - If you want me I'll be here

[Chorus]
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you


5. ZOMBIE (LIVE ACOUSTIC VERSION)

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see - It's not me - It's not my family
In your head - In your head - They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are crying

[Chorus]
In your head - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie
What's in your head? - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head - In your head - They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are dying

[Chorus]

2. I'M STILL REMEMBERING (LIVE ACOUSTIC VERSION)

I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told

[Chorus]
I need your affection all the way
The world is changing and has changed away
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way

Get away (x6)

I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology
Never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul
I didn't sell my soul

[Chorus]

They say the cream will always rise to the top
They say that good people are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain will his presence still remain?
Remember J. F. K. ever saintly in a way

Where are you now? (x3)
I say - Where are you now?

I need your affection all the way (x4)

All the way (x8)
