THE MEANING OF LOVE
I've read more than a hundred books Seeing love mentioned
many thousand of 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
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 Tell me From the notes that
I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar But I could be
wrong I'm just not sure you see I've 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 Tell me the meaning The meaning of love Tell me The meaning
of love Tell me From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something
like wanting a scar But I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see I've
never been in love before The meaning of love Tell me The meaning of love
Tell me The meaning of love Tell me The meaning of love Tell me The meaning
of love Tell me
MERCY IN YOU
You know what I need When my heart bleeds I suffer from
greed A longing to feed On the mercy in you I can't conceal The way I'm
healed The pleasure I feel When I have to deal With the mercy in you
I would do it all again Lose my way and fall again Just so I could call
again On the mercy in you The mercy in you When here in my mind I feel
inclined To wrongly treat you unkind I have faith I will find The mercy
in you I would lose my way again Be led hopelessly astray again Just so
I could pray again For the mercy in you When here in my mind I have been
blind Emotionally behind I have faith I will find The mercy in you The
mercy in you The mercy in you The mercy in you JUDAS Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest The narrowest path Is always the holiest So walk
on barefoot for me Suffer some misery If you want my love If you want my
love Man will survive The harshest conditions And stay alive Through difficult
decisions So make up your mind for me Walk the line for me If you want
my love If you want my love Idle talk And hollow promises Cheating Judases
Doubting Thomases Don't just stand there and shout it Do something about
it You can fulfil Your wildest ambitions And I'm sure you will Lose your
inhibitions So open yourself to me Risk your health for me If you want
my love If you want my love If you want my love If you want my love
MONUMENT
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 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 sight 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 My Monument -- it
fell down My Monument -- it fell down Work all of my days for this kind
of praise Work all of my days for this kind of praise It fell down Work
all of my days -- it fell down Work all of my days -- it fell down Work
all of my days -- it fell down
MORE THAN A PARTY
Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a
whole lot more We've had enough of this blind man's bluff You've kept us
in the dark for long enough This is more than a party More than a party
More than a party Keep telling us we're to have fun Then take all the ice
cream so we've got none This is more than a party More than a party More
than a party The failed magician waves his wand And in an instant all the
laughter's gone This is more than a party More than a party More than a
party Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a whole lot more
More than a party More than a party More than a party PIPELINE Get out
the crane Construction time again What is it this time We're laying a pipeline
Let the beads of sweat flow Until the ends have met though Could take a
long time Working on the pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the
needy On this golden day Work's been sent our way That could last a lifetime
Working on a pipeline From the heart of the land To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime We're laying a pipeline Taking from the greey Giving
to the needy Taking from the greey Giving to the needy Taking from the
greey Giving to the needy Taking from the greey Giving to the needy Taking
from the greey Giving to the needy
MY SECRET GARDEN
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 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 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 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 It all seems so absurd That this should
