Pandoras Box

Born in Kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to New York
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted
Was someone to undress you

And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
The face has changed
And you're still the same

And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see

Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time

And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know

And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see

When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world

And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same

And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see

And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
And you're too blind to see

And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long road
And you're too blind to see

And it's a long long way...

Julia's Song

The means to an end
The sinful distress
Writing down meaningless words
Vaguely off hand
So the rest of the band
Can learn from the bees and the birds
Concentrate business man you,
You haven't got long
Planets are ruling your hearts
Stilletos and thighs may be burning your eyes
But it keeps you from falling apart

Heavy but generalised
Sordid and wet
Someone advised me to die
Blowing your mind
'Cause you know what you'll find
When you're looking for things in the sky
Under the influence
Rotting our nerves
Cutting us off at the mains
Nearing the end with your grandmother's friend
It's something to do when it rains
It's something to do when it rains
It's something to do when it rains

Messages

It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again

And every day you send me more
It makes it worse is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget
I'd write and tell you that I've burnt them all
But you never send me your address
And I've, I've kept them anyway

So don't ask me if I think it's true
That communication can bring hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then
But memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages

Coded messages
Poison letters

Secret

I got a secret and I can’t explain
All the time, I’ve waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you’d better just wait and see

This is all, this is all
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
All my secret is this love
Is love, Is love
My secret is this love

Everyday you’re always there
You comfort me
And make me feel it’s worth my while
And then I look around and you’re not there
And everyday you say you care and I’ll beware

This is all, this is all

I’ve got a secret and I can’t explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand

Locomotion

Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion
Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldn’t have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can’t say no to you

I can’t say no I can’t say yes
I can’t even write down my own address
I can’t touch Heaven it’s a little too far
It’s the only way to travel
Got dreaming on a par
I’m staring through the window
Wondering where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every nation
From the harbour to the station
It’s a form of inspiration
It’s a power to the state
They run down the railways
Sail across the seaways
Fly through the airways
But they can’t say no
To you

I can’t stand up I can’t stand still
I know you wouldn’t like it if I told you how I feel
I just want to say that it’s only common sense
But the words always fail me at my own expense
I’m staring out the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldn’t have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can’t say no to you

Goddess of Love

(She's okay)
(She's okay)
(hey)
(She's okay)
(She's okay)
(Hey)

Goddess of love
Goddess of love
She never slows down
And she can't get enough
The Goddess of love
The Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above

She can't afford dreams
And her clothes are old
She can't afford hope
Wouldn't be so bold
But she's holding his heart
And she won't let go again

She's a femme fatal
Well that's what they say
But she knows he couldn't love her
Any other way
Cause she's holding him now
And she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding him now
And she won't let go again

Goddess of love
Goddess of love
She never slows down
And she can't get enough
The Goddess of love
The Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above

She never slows down
And she doesn't play straight
Just cruising around in her own sweet way
But she's taking her time
And he's gonna get fooled again
She learned about life
Til she wished shew were dead
So she treats that guy like a hole in the head
Can you see him now
He'll never get lucky again

Goddess of love
Goddess of love
She never slows down
And she can't get enough
The Goddess of love
The Goddess of love
She's holding her heart to the stars above

The Goddess of love (x6)
Heart and soul

She's the Goddess of love as she covers the gorund
She looks just great and she never slows down
And she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Oh, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again
Yes, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again

Oh, she's holding his heart and she won't let go again

Dreaming

If you were born in heaven girl
I'd understand so well
But ever since I met you child
You've made my life such hell
With every day that passes
I fall nearer to the ground
It seems that I've been looking for
Something that won't be found

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Could this be the new answer then
To all the dreams we've made
Could there be some solution please
To rid me of this craze
But every single second that you
Hold me in your arms
You build me up you raise me up
You kill me with your charms

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Won't you stay here tonight?
Won't you make these feelings last?
Can't we start this all again?
Would that be just too much to ask?

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

I was only dreaming
I was only trying to catch your eye
I was only wishing you would notice me
Instead you said goodbye

Joan Of Arc

A little catholic girl
Who’s fallen in love
A face on a page
A gift from above

She should have known better
Than to giver her heart
She should have known better
Than to ever part

Without me
Without me

I gave her everything
That I ever owned
I think she Understood
But she never spoke

She shouldn’t oughta try
To be that way
She shouldn’t have to go there
Ever again

Without me
Without me

Now listen to us good
And listen well
Listen to us all
And everything we tell

We should have known better
Than to giver her away
We should have known better
To this very day

Without me
Without me

Now listen Joan of Arc
All you gotta do
Is say the right words
And I’ll be coming through
Hold you in my arms
And take you
Right away

Now she's on her way
To another land
We never understood
Why she gave her hand

She shouldn't oughta promise
Because it's just pretend
I know she doesn't mean it
And she'll leave again

Without me
Without me
Without me
Without me

Walking on Air

The mood I'm in
I can't explain
Is black and white
Much worse than pain
The fear of this
Se clear tonight
Is next to me
But not exactly

It's obvious
So plain to see
That I'm not as dumb as
You'd like me to be
I'll take my chance
On your will tonight
But I won't fall off
So don't act tough
It's not enough

No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
When you're not there
You're walking on air

Don't shame me now
just let me down
Because I've bled enough
To paint this town
From East to West
North to South
the leeches crawl from hand to mouth
And now my strength
Is almost out
it's running out

No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
When you're not there
You're walking on air

No footsteps on the stair tonight
No cigarettes for me to light
No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor
But I'll hear you calling
When you're not there
You're walking on air

Victory Waltz

Come take me down to your heart of gold, and I will hear your song.
Cover me up in your fantasy world, where I can do you no harm.

And hold me now close to you.
Fear the thoughts I am sending.
Hold me now close again.
This dream is almost ending.

Come take me down to your victory waltz, and I will break your heart.
Gaze once again at the promise we made, that I have torn all apart.

And hold me now close to you.
As though we're still pretending.
Hold me now close again.
This dream is almost ending.

Very Close To Far Away

I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
So take what you can take what you find
Take it all into your mind

I’m very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live
So talk to me now talk to me slow
Say the words I told you so
I know you don’t believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you’d just receive me
We’re very close to far away

I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
So take what you can take what you find
Take it all into your mind

I know you don’t believe me
Or all the things I say
But if you’d just receive me
We’re very close to far away
I’m very close to far away
And I can’t hear the words you say
I need what you have need what you give
I need your love to make me live

I’m very close to letting go
Even closer than you know
So take what you can
Take what you find
Take it all into your mind

2nd Thought

And all the order in our lives
Left some time ago
Along the way
We are the ones who never cry
Like we don't care
Today

Me at home and you out there
And on your way
It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Who cares

I know it helps the times you asked
Though never gained
A little hope to set you free
Less restrained

And though the order in our lives
Left some time ago
We are the ones who never cry
Or so we're told

It's gone so far and now it seems
It's only me
Me at home and you out there
along the way

Me at home and you out there
along the way

Me at home and you out there
along the way
