A Broken Frame

My secret garden's not so secret anymore
Run from the house holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred
My very only secret and I had to go and leak it
My secret garden's not so secret anymore

No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore
Run through the fields down to the edge of the water
Can't stay long, here comes the reason why
She'll catch me if she can, take me by the hand
I'll have to keep on running and I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden not being secret anymore

It used to be so easy on days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours, in among the flowers

I loved it, I loved her

Play the fool, act so cruel (I loved it)
Read her book, take a look (I loved her)
Play the fool, act so cruel (I loved it)
Read her book, take a look (I loved her)

It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred
My very only secret and I had to go and leak it
My secret garden's not so secret anymore

When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else are you going to see
What it is going to be like

So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful site
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need glasses

My monument
It fell down
My monument
It fell down

Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down

Now here this my friends,
I'll never be the same again,
Going to lock myself in a cold black room,
Going to shadow myself in a well of gloom,
I will find a function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.

Driving to this point by a chain of events,
Each one pushed me nearer the edge.
Going to send my message through you,
You'll recieve the signal to.
I will function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.

Higher, Higher

Dissillusioned - I was disenchanted,
Forgot the love that had been implanted,
Heard the lies and felt the cold,
It broke my heart and I lost control -
Now I'm a satellite of a free state,
I'm a satellite of hate.

I've read more than a hundred books
Seeing love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer
It's just not enough
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
The meaning of love

NOTED DOWN ALL MY OBSERVATIONS
SPENT AN EVENING WATCHING TELEVISION
STILL I COULDN'T SAY WITH PRECISION
KNOW IT'S A FEELING AND IT COMES FROM ABOVE
BUT WHAT'S THE MEANING
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me
The meaning of love

FROM THE NOTES THAT I'VE MADE SO FAR
LOVE SEEMS SOMETHING LIKE WANTING A SCAR
WELL I COULD BE WRONG
I'M JUST NOT SURE YOU SEE
I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

NEXT I ASKED SEVERAL FRIENDS OF MINE
IF THEY COULD SPARE A FEW MINUTES OF THEIR TIME
THEIR LOOKS SUGGESTED THAT I'VE LOST MY MIND
TELL ME THE ANSWER
MY LORD HIGH ABOVE
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me...

FROM THE NOTES THAT I'VE MADE SO FAR
LOVE SEEMS SOMETHING LIKE WANTING A SCAR
WELL I COULD BE WRONG
I'M JUST NOT SURE YOU SEE
I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

The meaning of love
Tell me
The meaning of love
Tell me...

What is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue!

What use is a souvenir
Of something we once had
Make me feel bad!

I wish I could tear it up,
But then again I heavn't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire.
I wish I could
But to say I would,
I'd be a liar!

What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll?
When just one little galance
Is enough to make me feel dull!

I hoped I would missplace it,
But then I take such a good care of it.
I wish I could disappear,
I say I wish,
But then I relish
It being here!

What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue.
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue.

Feel blue.

Someone will call
Something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text
Know what comes next
Seen it before
And it's painful

Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again

You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall

Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again
