Forbidden city

There's not a hope
While you're in this kind of mood
Too much to drink
But not enough to lose
You tore me apart
Now I've got to suffer
I wish I'd been around when you started this

Give me a chance
I'd show you what I could do
You're in a trance
And I'm not so fond of you
You may be a friend
But you're not my relation
But you're the only person I ever knew

And it's too late to wash my hands
We're caught in a trap
Set for a man

There is a wind
That blows in the northern skies
Holding me back
No matter how hard I try
If I had the sense
I'd leave here tomorrow
I wouldn't even bother to say goodbye

But it's too late to wash my hands
We're caught in a trap
Set for a man

Would you lie to me
If you thought I was wrong
You deserted me
When it all went wrong
Would you lie to me
Would you lie to me

Would you lie to me
If you thought I was wrong
You deserted me
When it all went wrong

But it's too late to wash my hands
We're caught in a trap
Set for a man

(marr and sumner)

i used to think that i was lonely
when i was a young boy
doing what they told me
too many lessons in the school class
stated my allegiance
mixing with the wrong class

i lived at home with all my family
even had my own key
it was given to me
i like to be alone
there was never any friction
starring in my own film
it was my addiction

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

the older boys were rather surly
living in the wrong place
made me grow up early
but it was my home
as i complete my own existence
staring at my old life
fading in the distance
down a semi-tone

smiling faces of the neighbours
proud of their endeavours
unemployed forever
watch tv at home

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

don’t ever wait, don’t hesitate
don’t ever wait, don’t hesitate

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

you don’t have to wait, the world will carry on
it’s there in your face, but it won’t stay for long
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

don’t wait, let’s carry on
your face will get along
let’s be a nation and sit upon a throne
don’t ever hesitate, just carry on

Your older boys were rather surly
Livin’ in the wrong place
Made me grow up early
But it was my home
As I complete my own existence
Staring at my own life
Fading in the distance
Down I stand in time

Smiling faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Gonna play forever
Watch tv at home

(*Repeat)

**You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon our throne
(But) Don't ever hesitate
Don’t get it wrong


Don't ever wait
Don't hesitate
Don’t ever wait
Don’t hesitate

(**Repeat 2 times)

Don't wait just carry on
Don't wait we'll get along
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon her throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

Na na na na na na
(Repeat and fade)

I'm always late but I caught you in time
To escape from the scene of the crime
Louder than cymbals, all out of rhyme
I give up 'cause I don't know the time

I can't decide
Won't you rescue my pride
Tell me the truth
I have a picture of you
You have a picture of me

We could steal away every night
Or catch the earliest flight
We're fallen in, so let's swim

*You're out of my league
But I'm depending on you
You're all that I need
So why don't you say that it's true
You're out of my league
But I'm depending on you
You're all that I need
So why don't you say that it's true

You're out of my league

Like a picture hung on a wall
Not a word to speak, lost for a cause
You could give me so many things
But without your love, all of it stinks

My only crime
Is the state of my mind
Hold on to you
I have a picture of you
You have a picture of me

We could steal away every night
Or catch the very first flight
We're fallen in, so let's swim

(*Repeat)

Early morning with a sigh
She opens both her eyes
Praying for a safe return
Lost in the darkest night
This day the jury has adjourned
Her love has taken flight

*She is coming home
To visit me tonight
She is coming home
To visit me tonight

**Taken from the arms of another
Woken from the deepest dream
Patiently she waits for her lover
Perhaps her life is not what it seemed

Come to me and see my endeavor
Like a leaf she falls to the ground
In the dust that gathers forever
We are spirits making no sound

(*Repeat)
(**Repeat 2 Times)
