LEAVE IN SILENCE
I've told myself so many times before But this time I
think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's going to
save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations That call for diplomatic relations If
I only knew the answer Or I thought we had a chance Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing From spreading like a cancer What can I say I don't
want to play any more What can I say I'm heading for the door I can't stand
this emotional violence Leave in silence Leave in silence We've been running
round in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This
will be the last time I think I said that last time If I only had a potion
Some magical lotion That could stop this I would set the wheels in motion
What can I say I don't want to play any more What can I say I'm heading
for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence Leave
in silence Leave in silence Leave in silence Leave in silence Leave in
silence
LIE TO ME
Come on and lay with me Come on and lie to me Tell me
you love me Say I'm the only one Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken Don't mean a lot now Belief is the way The way of
the innocent When I say innocent I should say naive So lie to me But do
it with sincerity Make me listen Just for a minute Make me think There's
some truth in it Come on and lay with me Come on and lie to me Tell me
you love me Say I'm the only one Promises made for convenience Aren't necessarily
What we need Truth is a word That's lost it's meaning The truth has become
Merely half-truth So lie to me Like they do it in the factory Make me think
That at the end of the day Some great reward Will be coming my way Come
on and lay with me Come on and lie to me Tell me you love me Say I'm the
only one
LITTLE 15
Little 15 You help her forget The world outside You're
not part of it yet And if you could drive You could drive her away To a
happier place To a happier day That exists in your mind And in your smile
She could escape there Just for a while Little 15 Little 15 Why take the
smooth with the rough When things run smooth It's already more than enough
She knows your mind Is not yet in league With the rest of the world And
it's little intrigues Do you understand Do you know what she means As time
goes by And when you've seen what she's seen You will Little 15 Little
15 Why does she have to defend Her feelings inside Why pretend She's not
had a life A life of near misses Now all that she wants Is 3 little wishes
She wants to see with your eyes She wants to smile with your smile She
wants a nice surprise Every once in a while Little 15
LOVE, IN ITSELF
All of these insurmountable tasks That lay before me
All of the firsts And the definate lasts That lay in store for me There
was a time When all of my mind was love Now I find That most of the time
Love's not enough In itself Consequently I've a tendency To be unhappy,
you see The thoughts in my head All the words that were said All the blues
and the reds Get to me There was a time When all of my mind was love Now
I find That most of the time Love's not enough In itself All of these absurdities
That lay before us All of the doubts And the certainties That lay in store
for us There was a time When all of my mind was love Now I find That most
of the time Love's not enough In itself
THE LOVE THIEVES
Oh the tears that you weep For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet With their love begging bowls All the clerks and
the tailors The sharks and the sailors All good at their trades but They'll
always be failures Alms for the poor For the wretched
disciples And the love that they swore With their hearts on the Bible Beseeching
the honour To sit at your table And feast on your holiness As long as they're
able Love needs its martyrs Needs its sacrifices They
live for your beauty And pay for their vices Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers But their spirit shall live on in The hearts of
all lovers You're holding court With your lips and
your smile Your body's a halo Their minds are on trial Sure as Adam is
Eve Sure as Jonah turned whalerThey're crooked love thieves And you are
their jailor Love needs its martyrs Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty And pay for their vices Love will be the death
of My lonely soul brothers But their spirit shall live on in The hearts
of all lovers...
