No Bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Fall At Your Feet

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And the think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Do let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go now
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall at your feet

Where Is My Mind

Ooooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind [3x]
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me I should ask myself
Where is my mind [3x]
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'?
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind [3x]
Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Sugar-Coated

I'm on a bus. I'm in a rush.
I would catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed.
Another day. Another dime.
I know some might say, that I'm wasting time.
And then at night, another fight,
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene.

I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.

Hello dawn. It's good to be.
Did I pay for the girl lying next to me?
I had a love, but little luck.
I don't bleed any more 'cause my heart's been crushed.
And now I'm free – lucky me.
Yeah my girlfriend was a bore, she don't love me anymore.

I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.

A little hush. A little rush.
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big enough.
Finally it's only me.
Things will never be the same. There's no living life again.

I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
It's time to sit back and smile.
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.
It's been a while.

Annie

Annie, you had your name in the bright lights.
I thought I saw your photograph having such a laugh in a magazine,
Did it all come tumbling?
Annie, you were made for the big time.
They said you're a star to be in the NME,
But the walls came tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.
Annie, would it be nice to be recognised?
And did you practise your autograph but now no one's asked and it's such a shame,
That the dreams are crumbling?
Annie, why aren't you bathed in the limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be a celebrity several years ago.
Did it all come tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.

Shine On

Are they calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes. In your eyes.
Same old moves for a new romance.
I could use the same old lies, but I'll sing,
Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
And when silence greets my last goodbye,
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing.
Shine On, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.

One of the Brightest Stars

One day your story will be told
One of the lucky ones what's made his name
One day they all make you glorious
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame

And it all comes round
Once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you ˜cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon¦ too soon

And they alll say Told you so-
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

One day they I'll tell you that you've changed
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare
One day you'll hope to make the grave
Before the papers choose to send you there

And it all comes round, once in a lifetime
Like it always does
Nobody loves you ˜cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon¦ too soon

And they'll say Told you so-
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

And they'll say Told you so-
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

And they say Told you so-
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars

Same Mistake

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.

The Safest Place

I'm convinced i've seen, an escape for everything,
they might have different names, but
they're all the same but the secrets safe inside,
alone, and dark it hides, and i'd ignore it,
but it won't go away

and all i feel is static, this beat is automatic,
i've tried to kick this habit but every time
i grab it.

and i, won't be the safest place to hide, take this cup from me,
your sick and twisted lies,
and i, won't be your safest place to hide, lord,
help me break these chains, i need to see the
light

and now i see the way, you've constructed me,
taking all that was and throwing it away, now i
know it's just the flame in all of us, and i can burn this up or blow it away

and all i feel is static, this beat is automatic,
i've tried to kick this habit but every time
i grab it.

and i, won't be the safest place to hide, take this cup from me,
your sick and twisted lies,
and i, won't be your safest place to hide, lord,
help me break these chains, i need to see the
light

and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction,
and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction,
and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction,
and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction,
and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction,
and all I feel is friction, i dont want it, i hate this addiction!!!

and i, won't be the safest place to hide, take this cup from me,
your sick and twisted lies,
and i, won't be your safest place to hide, lord, help me break
these chains, i need to see the
light..

and i, won't be the safest place to hide, take this cup from me,
your sick and twisted lies,
and i, won't be your safest place to hide, lord, help me break these chains,
i need to see the
light....

The Last Song [Hidden Track]

And you can throw away your expectations now,
and all the things u wouldn't say outloud,
theres nothing left to pick apart now, the cards are all down,
and now you know the sound of my
heart when it hits the paper, theres no more mystery here,
this is the last song

I remember when we first became a band, we'd drive all night
and talk about the world, I
remember when we used to now and then sit and wonder where it all would go

This is the last song (the last song)
so everybody sing along, this is the last song

This is the last song (the last song)
so everybody sing along, this is the last song

And you can throw away your expectations now, and all the things
u wouldn't say outloud,
theres nothing left to pick apart now, the cards are all down,
and now you know the sound of my
heart when it hits the paper, theres no more mystery here, this i
s the last song

I remember when we first became a band, we'd set up in the
bedroom practice all night long, I
remember when we used to now and then keep the neighborhood
up from the sound of our guitars, I
remember when we'd all hop in the van, turn the radio on,
we were off to see the world, we
could pretend to do it all again til the sun goes down cause
this is all we know

This is the last song (the last song)
so everybody sing along, this is the last song

This is the last song (the last song)
so everybody sing along, this is the last song

I remember when we first became a band, we'd drive all night
and talk about the world, I

Broken Wing

Here comes an opening, she's gotta broken wing,
if you can feel the sting, take care of
everything, if she can make a scene, i'll show you what i mean,
she pack a loaded gun, set fire
to anyone, knows how to make 'em run, she's down on sixth street,
shes's goin sixty, she'll
show you how to breathe.

i dont want to see, i dont want to be, i dont wanna be anyone,
anymore i dont want to fake, i
dont want to break, i dont wanna say anything, anymore,
everytime you walk away, i wish you'd
stay, instead of pushing further away, everytime
i hear you say i just need one, to take this
pain away

you're a broken wing, not a broken thing, you can heal in time,
if you try, it'll be okay, you
can walk away, sweet julia...

I Can't Hear the Music

Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on. You don't get a second shot,
And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot?
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down.
And is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile,
But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down,
And there she goes. And there she goes.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance.
