I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "No", or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be (A whole new world)
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "No", or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world (Every turn, a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
Ooh
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That's where we'll be
(That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
(A wondrous place)
For you and
Me
 
Day after day, ..My love turns gray
Like the skin of a dying man

And night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older, and you have grown colder
And nothing is very much fun.... anymore

And I can feel one of my turns coming on

I ....feel..... cold as a razor blade, tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe

Don't look so frightened, this is just a passing phase
One of my bad days

Would you like to watch TV? Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?

Would ya? Would you like to see me try?
Ah, no!

Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?
 
I remember when we still one
Your laugh, your voice, and your bright eyes
We're together in this love
Promise we'll forever
And now you left me alone
Cause You find someone better
You're in that way with him
And one think I know

You break my heart, break my hope
Make me so down in a loneliness
You left me when I deep
Thought you are my best scene
Being my prince, but I was wrong
Baby, you change a pink into the blue

And what does it mean all the things that we have written
The great conversation and a beautiful future
Perfect definition of sadly flower

You break my heart, break my hope
Make me so down in a loneliness
You left me when I deep
Thought you are my best scene
Being my prince, but I was wrong
Oh baby, you change a pink into the blue

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You break my heart, break my hope
Make me so down in a loneliness
You left me, you left me when I'm in love
Thought you are my best scene
Being my prince, (i was wrong) but I was wrong (i was wrong)
I was wrong (I was wrong)
I was wrong (I was wrong)
I was wrong (I was wrong)
I do i fall in you
 
What do I do
To make you love me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I do
When lightning strikes me? Yeah

What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be
The hardest word
 
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (Parklife!)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as (Parklife!)
John's got brewer's droop, he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons, they love a bit of it (Parklife!)
Who's that gut lord marching? You should cut down on your pork life mate, get some exercise

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?

I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen (Parklife!)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving me house (Parklife!)
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too, it gives me a sense of enormous well-being (Parklife!)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife

Parklife (Parklife!)
Parklife (Parklife!)
It's got nothing to do with your Vorsprung durch Technik, you know
Parklife (Parklife!)
And it's not about you joggers who go 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Parklife (Parklife!)

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
 
For so long, I have waited
So long that I almost became
Just a stoic statue, fit for nobody
And I don't wanna get in your way
But I finally think I can say
🖤That the vicious cycle was over
The moment you smiled at me
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving🖤
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?
It's that chemical cut that I can get down with
Up like the moon and out like the hounds
A dangerous disposition somehow
Refracted in light, reflected in sound
I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent
Tangled in your trance and I'm certain
You have got your hooks in me
I know, I know, the way that it goes
You get what you give, you reap what you sow
And I can see you in my fate
And I know, I know, I am what I am
The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb
So darling, will you saturate?
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?
Nobody can say for certain
If maybe it's all just a game
When I open my eyes to the future
I can hear you say my name
So rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me
Oh, rain down on me, rain down on me
 
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you (oh)
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through (no, no, no, no, no)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no
And this is what I should have said
Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid
Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you (oh)
Some things lookin' better, baby
Just passin' through (no, no, no, no, no)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)
And this is what I should have said
Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid
Cold, cold heart (oh)
Hardened by you
Some things lookin' better, baby (oh)
Just passin' through (no, no, no, no, no)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)
And this is what I should have said (and I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
('Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find)
Well, I thought it, but I kept it hid (I'm not the man they think I am at home)
(Oh no, no, no) (no, no, no, no, no)
Shoorah (oh)
Shoorah
Shoorah (oh)
Shoorah
(No, no, no, no, no)
 
Just tell me you love me - England Dan & John Ford Coley


Many times, I wished you were here
Through the velvet shadows of my dreams
Many times, I wished you were near
Through the darkness as it came but it seems
That you, you never said what I needed to hear
Just tell me you love me
Whisper words I so long to hear
Let this time not be borrowed
Let it be ours to share
If you tell me you love me
It would lead a way to your heart
Through the mirrors of silence, you love me
Quietly, I've waited
For the memory born of our first kiss
Patiently, I've waited
For the moment you would take me to word
That I, I've never seen that world before
Just tell me you love me
Whisper words I so long to hear
Let this time not be borrowed
Let it be ours to share
If you tell me you love me
It would lead a way to your heart
Through the mirrors of silence
You love me, you love meMany times, I wished you were here
Through the velvet shadows of my dreams
Many times, I wished you were near
Through the darkness as it came but it seems
That you, you never said what I needed to hear
Just tell me you love me
Whisper words I so long to hear
Let this time not be borrowed
Let it be ours to share
If you tell me you love me
It would lead a way to your heart
Through the mirrors of silence, you love me
Quietly, I've waited
For the memory born of our first kiss
Patiently, I've waited
For the moment you would take me to word
That I, I've never seen that world before
Just tell me you love me
Whisper words I so long to hear
Let this time not be borrowed
Let it be ours to share
If you tell me you love me
It would lead a way to your heart
Through the mirrors of silence
You love me, you love me
 
Oh, come on!
Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back
You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slowed down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12-gauge
Can't lock me in your cage
You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slowed down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well, my friend, you see
It's been slowed down below
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell, ahhh
Step aside, we're the cowboys from hell
 
I know you think about it, how my body makes you feel
And we can fool about, but I don't wanna have to steal
I understand you're not mine, babe
Why why why why why?
Even when you're with me you
Lie lie lie lie lie
And I know it will never change
But I still can't say goodbye
Old habits, you're one of them
(You are my weakness)
Take my heed, this has to end
(You are my weakness)
I thought you would take me away
(I thought that you could)
So now I have to start again
I understand you're not mine, babe
Why why why why why?
Even when you're with me you
Lie lie lie lie lie
And I know it will never change
But I still can't say goodbye
Can't change where we been
(Hard to know, yeah)
It was coming from
(Hard to know, yeah)
It was very real
(Hard to know, yeah)
Feel so stupid
Can't change where we been
(Hard to know, yeah)
It was coming from
(Hard to know, yeah)
It was very real
(Hard to know, yeah)
Feel so stupid
I understand you're not mine, babe
Why why why why why?
Even when you're with me you
Lie lie lie lie lie
And I know it will never change
But I still can't say goodbye
 
Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little wack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they? I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Look at all those movie stars
They're all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
'Cause I'm the next big thing
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
The truth is
I don't stand a chance
It's something that you're born into
And I just don't belong
No I don't, I'm just a no-class beat-down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play
Beverly Hills
That's where I want to be
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Rollin' like a celebrity
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme)
Livin' in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Yeah, Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Livin' in Beverly Hills
 
You are a wildfire
And I wanna be your oxygen
You are a dreamer
And I'll be the arms you're sleeping in
You are a butterfly
And I wanna be your blue sky
You are a gypsy
And I'm on your passenger side
Wherever you go
Oh, I'll be
When you need me close
Oh, I'll be
No, you won't be alone
Through the highs and the lows
You know you got me
Wherever you go
Oh, I'll be
You are an angel
And I wanna be your messenger
You are the lightning
And I wanna be your thunder
You are a shooting star
And I wanna be your night sky
If you're ever lost, babe
You just got to close your eyes
Wherever you go
Oh, I'll be
When you need me close
Oh, I'll be
No, you won't be alone
Through the highs and the lows
You know you got me
Wherever you go
Oh, I'll be
I'll be
Wherever you go
Oh, I'll be
When you need me close
Oh, I'll be
No, you won't be alone
Through the highs and the lows
You know you got me
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
I'll be
 
I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The first thing that she said
Temptation greets you like your naughty mate
The one that used to get you in bother
But one you could never bring yourself to hate
And she said we've got that spark
But only lights a fuse, helps you see in the dark
But it's a sight you'll lose when
The temptation greets you like your naughty friend
I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead
Temptation greets you like your naughty mate
The one that made you steal and set things on fire
The one you haven't seen of late
And I said that kind of talk
Only adds intrigue to the cauldron of thought
It's already exceeding
Temptation, the very thing that held her back
I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead
I don't ever want to hate you
It's not part of the plan
So keep your charm where I can't see it
And your hands where I can
Yo, it's Rasc' gettin' dirtee stankin', yeah
We used to be in tight, me and my naughty friends
Caused pure madness in the end, I mean day and night
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight
Smoking, drinking, drag riding
Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding
Reckless youngsters, no direction, no sign of correction
But then I switched it off, changed my ways
Run the area like, "Oh, my days"
But a lot of my naughty friends, they're not phased
Can't believe that this music pays
See no reason why we can't do
All the things that we've always done
Still in my heart I know that's just one
But it's hard to fight the temptation, son
The panic will fall down around you
If you don't do what I say
I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead
I don't ever want to hate you
It's not part of the plan
So keep your charm where I can't see it
And your hands where I can
 
It's been a long time coming
It's going to be a long time gone
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Time, yes a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner
Hear, you must hear what the people say
You know there's something that's going on around here
It surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no
And it appears to be a long time (Yes, it does)
Appears to be a long (Mmm)
Appears to be a long
Time, Such a long, long time
Before the dawn

Speak out, you got to speak against the madness
You got to speak your mind if you dare
But don't, no don't, no, try to get yourself elected
If you do, you had better cut your hair, mmm
And It appears to be a long (Yes, it does)
Appears to be a long (Mmmhmm)
Appears to be a long
Time, such a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn, yeah

It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone
But you know
The darkest hour
Is always, always just before the dawn

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time, such a long, long, long, long time
Before the dawn

Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do
The way the grass smells at night
And you've got flames all in your eyes
As they reflect the sparkler
And you say we'll never die
Grab me by the hands
Just as callused as I am
Say your proud
Well, there's blue jeans in the driveway
And you're walking inside sideways
The wine always affects you in beautiful kind ways
Ask me if I'm staying and I say that I'm sleeping on the floor
Won't you tell me that you need me
'Cause lately I've been needing someone to remind me
I'm worth more than just an evening
I awoke to kitchen smoke, you dancin' like God's moved in you before
Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do
Well, in you
I'm new
I'm new
Oh, how I'm new
Well, look in my eyes, I don't wan' to hide
I've been waiting for you all damn night
Sundress, I'll undress with nails on your skin, turning white
Getting high out in Austin
Drunk in Tennessee
I don't care where I am
As long as you're with me
Those boys downtown talk so much **** when I leave
Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do
'Cause in you
I'm new
I'm new
Oh, how I'm new
The way the grass smells at night
And you've got flames all in your eyes
As they reflect the sparkler
And you say we'll never die
Grabbed me by the hands
Just as callused as I am
And say your proud
 
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
And turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
And trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way, it ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
And baby baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman
When a man, when a man
When a man loves a woman
 
Everyone says I look happy
When it feels right

I know that you're wrong for me
Gonna wish we never met on the day you leave
You brought me down to my knees
'Cause they say that misery loves company
It's not your fault I ruin everything
And it's not your fault I can't be what you need
Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me
I'm everything you said I would be
 
Hello me, meet the real me
And my misfit's way of life

A dark, black past is my
Most valued possession

Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy..
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me and my air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things, I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

Hello me, it's me again
You can subdue, but never tame me

It gives me a migraine headache
Sinking down to your level

Yeah, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance

Mankind has got to know
His limitations

Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in
Bloodstains on my hands and I don't know where I've been
Oh, I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe and my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

I hear it in here
Blood stains on my-

The big axe, big axe, big axe

Sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating

Well me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia

Someday, you too, will know my pain
And smile its "black-toothed grin"

If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off, I'll be dead

My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me and my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in
Bloodstains on my hands and I don't know where I've been

Once you've committed me (committed me)
Now you've acquitted me (acquitted me)
Claiming validity (validity)
For your stupidity (stupidity)
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Oh, here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets
 
Batter up! Hear that call!
The time has come for one and all
To play ball.
We are the members of the All-American League.
We come from cities near and far.
We've got Canadians, Irishmen and Swedes,
We're all for one, we're one for all
We're All-Americans!
Each girl stands, her head so proudly high,
Her motto 'Do or Die.'
She's not the one to use or need an alibi.
Our chaperones are not too soft,
They're not too tough,
Our managers are on the ball.
We've got a president who really knows his stuff,
We're all for one, we're one for all,
We're All-Americans!
 
Better days are comin'
If no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin'
Over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin'
You've been a soldier
But better days are comin'
Better days are comin' for you
So when the night feels like forever
(Mh-mh)
I'll remember what you said to me
I know you've been hurtin'
Waitin' on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent
And soon, we'll be dancin' in the sun
We'll be dancin' in the sun
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
We never miss the flowers
Until the sun's down
We never count the hours
Until they're runnin' out
You're on the other side of the storm now
You should be so proud
And better days are comin'
Better days are comin' for you
So when the night feels like forever
(Mh-mh)
I'll remember what you said to me
I know you've been hurting (is our time ever soothing?)
Waiting on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothing?)
And soon, we'll be dancing in the sun
We'll be dancing in the sun
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
Your story's gonna change
Just wait for better days
You've seen too much of pain
Now, you don't even know
That your story's gonna change
Just wait for better days
I promise you, I won't let go
I know you've been hurting
Waiting on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothing?)
And soon, we'll be dancing in the sun
We'll be dancing in the sun
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
