Why... Why...
How many times do I have to try to tell you,
That I'm sorry for the things I've done?! Uhhh...
But when I start to try to tell you,
That's when you have to tell me:
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun.
I tell myself too many times,
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut.
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words,
That keep on falling from your mouth.
Falling from your mouth.
Falling from your mouth.
Tell me...
Why...
Why...

I may be mad;
I may be blind;
I may be viciously unkind;
But I can still read what you're thinking.
And I've heard it said too many times,
That you'd be better off...
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge,
And we can cast away those doubts.
Some things are better left unsaid,
But they still turn me inside out.
Turning inside out...
Turning inside out...

Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I've never read;
These are the words I've never said;
This is the path I'll never tread;
These are the dreams I'll dream instead;
This is the joy that's seldom spread;
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear;
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I fear
You don't know what I fear

Walking on Walking on broken glass
Walking on Walking on Broken Glass
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you.
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass...
(Walking on walking on broken glass)

The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me.
O-o-oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me...
I'm living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass...
(Walking on walking on broken glass)

And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed.
'Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed...
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
'Cause if you want to hurt me
You do it really well my dear...

Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us is made to weep
We've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep...
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking...
Walking on broken glass.
Don't let me keep on walking.
(Walking on walking on broken glass)

Precious little angel
Take a look at what you've done.
Well I thought my time was over
But it's only just begun.
Precious little angel
You're my own sweet turtle dove
Won't you stay with us for ever
In a bundle full of love?

Well I was lost until you came.

Precious little angel
Won't you spread your light on me
I was locked up in the darkness
Now you've come to set me free
I was covered up with sadness
I was drowned in my own tears
I've been cynical and twisted
I've been bitter all these years.

I was lost until you came.
I was lost until you came.

And wouldn't I run a thousand miles
To be with you (to be with you)
And wouldn't I run a thousand miles
To be with you (to be with you)

Precious little angel
Tell me how can it be true
That such a gift from heaven
Has been sent for me and you?
Precious little angel
Don't you worry don't you cry
When this bad old world has crumbled
I'll be standing at your side

I was lost until you came.

When I was just seventeen
I ran away from home
To be with all the pretty people
To be on my own, yeah
Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
And pavements paved with gold
And I believed in everything
That everybody told me...

Have mercy
Have mercy on me

I found myself in a lonely place
With a suitcase full of dreams
And I soon grew up to realize
What living in the doghouse means, ooh
But everyday I told myself
Good things would happen soon
'Cause I knew that I was going to be
A legend in my living room, yeah

Have mercy (common on sister, sing)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy (common on brother, sing)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy (common on mother, sing)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy (common on father, sing)
Have mercy on me

(Welcome to this perfect world)

Now everyday, on a dead-end street
Is where I spend my time
The dust has been collecting
On the corners of my mind
But I shed my tears in bitter drops
Until the thorn trees bloomed
To take the spiky fruit
To crown myself the queen of doom, yeah

Have mercy (common people sing)
Have mercy on me (mercy on the children)
Have mercy (common people sing)
Have mercy on me (I need to hear you sing)

Have mercy (oh they got it girls)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy (sing it for yourself)
Have mercy on me

Come to me
Run to me
Do and be done with me
(Cold cold cold)
Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)
Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath (ohh yeah)
Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby
Ohhhh Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start...
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are...

Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)

Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

Don't you its......Cold
Cold
Cold
Cold
Cold
Cold...
Ohhhhhhh Yeah

Money can't buy it...baby
Sex can't buy it...baby
Drugs can't buy it...baby
You can't buy it...baby

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in love alone yea yea

Take the power to set you free
Kick down the door and throw away the key
Give up your needs... Your poisoned seeds
Find yourself elected to a different kind of creed

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yea yea

Won't somebody tell me what we're coming to
It might take forever till we watch those dreams come true
All the money in the world won't buy you peace of mind
You can have it all but you still won't be satisfied

Money can't buy it...baby
Sex can't buy it...baby
Drugs can't buy it...baby
You can't buy it...baby

Now... Hear this
Pay attention to me!
'Cause I'm a rich white girl and it's plain to see
I got every kind of thing that the money can buy
Let me tell you all about it
Let me amplify
I got DIAMONDS!
You heard about those
I got so many that I can't close my safe at night
In the dark
Lying awake in a sick dream...

I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yea yea

Money Can't Buy It...
Money Can't Buy It...

I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
And cry, cry, cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had the wings to fly away from here
But my, my I feel so low
My, my, where do I go?
My, my, what do I know?
My, my, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test
For I am just a troubled soul
Who's weighted...
Weighted to the ground
Give me the strength to carry on
Till I can lay this burden down
Give me the strength to lay this burden down
Down, down, yeah
Give me the strength to lay it down
But now, now I feel so low
now, now, where do I go?
now, now, what do I know?
now, now, we reap what we sow
They always said that you knew best but
This little bird's fallen out of that nest now
I've got a feeling that it might have been blessed so
I've just got to put these wings to test

Sweetheart
The sun has set
All red and primitive above our heads.
Blood stained on an ageless sky
Wipe your tears and let the salt stains dry.
Let them all run dry
All run dry...

Sweetheart
Take me to bed
That's where all our prayers are said.
Whispered silent in the night
That's how all our dreams take flight.
Let them all go by
All go by...

For time will catch us in both hands
To blow away like grains of sand.
Ashes to ashes rust to dust
This is what becomes of us...

Sweetheart
Send me to sleep
Pray to God our hopes to keep.
Take our fears and make us strong
Lead us to where we belong
And let it all go by
All go by...

Stay by me
And make the moment last.
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times...

And I don't care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We're blind...
We're blind...
So blind in love.

Sweet darling
Don't you know
That we're no different to anyone?
We stumble
We falter
But we're no different than anyone.

And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water.
And we're standing in a thunder cloud
Dark as your hair...
Dark as your hair.

Darling don't you understand
I feel so ill at ease
The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free
Take this overcoat of shame
It never did belong to me
It never did belong to me

I need to go outside
I need to leave the smoke
'Cause I can't go on living in the same sick joke
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
You have given me the gift

For we have fallen from our shelves
To face the truth about ourselves
And we have tumbled from our trees
Tumbled from our trees

And I can almost...
I can almost hear the rain falling
Don't you know it feels so good
So let's go out into the rain again
Just like we said we always would

What's cute about a little cutie?
It's her beauty, not brains...
Old father time will never harm you
If your charm still remains.
After you grow old baby
You don't have to be a cold baby...

Keep Young and Beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful...
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved!
Don't fail to do your stuff
With a little powder and a puff.
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved.

If you're wise, exercise all the fat off
Take it off - off of here, off of there...
When you're seen anywhere with your hat off
Wear a Marcel wave in your hair...

Take care of all those charms
And you'll always be in someone's arms.
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved.

If you're wise, exercise all the fat off
Take it off - off of here, off of there...
When you're seen anywhere with your hat off
Wear a Marcel wave in your hair...
Hahaha

Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
That's right s
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Boo pee doo
