Falling Apart I don’t know who to be or what to say anymore I’m feeling pretty stunned Yeah I’m absolutely floored I can’t change what’s been It’s been me for so long I don’t think I need to change I’m doing no harm And I’m no failure I’m Just falling apart. I don’t want to fight Don’t want to hurt anyone I want the same for me I think life should be fun I’m being true to myself and I try not to judge I’m honest with you, because I believe that I must. So I’m no failure I’m just falling apart. I’m no failure I’m just falling apart. When I look in myself I know there is truth I’ve got so much love, that I’ll give some to you But the world’s self-absorbed and it causes me pain If you understood there’d be no need to explain That I’m no failure I’m no failure I’m just falling apart. Falling apart Because I’ve got a broken heart.

Something You’re Not Don’t be so nervous I’m not going to hurt you I probably want the same as you So tell me, and we’ll compare Don’t be so quiet This timid thing, I don’t buy it There’s a fire in your eyes And it’s burning into mine I just want to know who you are When you’re not hiding your heart and standing apart and… Wasting your time on something you’re not. Don’t be so angry Just because I’m not making it easy I want to see what you’re made of And whether you’d try to deceive me Don’t be so frightened There’s safety inside and you’ll find it It’s up to you to release yourself And discover the love within. I just want to know who you are When you’re not hiding your heart and standing apart and… Wasting your time on something you’re not. Don’t be so doubtful Of the truth that you see around you Your mind is strong if you exercise it But it dies if you deny it.

Tears 03:06
Tears When something moves inside me I know then, it’s so clear This isn’t just another number But the reason for my tears Listen very closely And faintly you might hear A heartbeat through the thunder And the falling of a tear… The falling of a million tears Something moves when I’m inside you For the worse or for the better Once I’m there I have escaped And nothing seems to matter The violins are weeping For my loss of innocence My eyes close with pure emotion A memory full of secrets kept
4.
Upon Deaf Ears Something tells me That I should be somewhere else I’m a loaded gun Something tells me I should be someone else I don’t trust myself But I’m not listening It’s all contradiction And it makes me doubt myself even more I don’t need help To criticize myself I do that perfectly on my own Something tells me I’m a sucker for fun On a merry-go-round Something tells me That I’ll never be satisfied I’m a formal complaint All upon deaf ears

Behind Your Eyes What’s it like from behind your eyes? Where do you look? How do you decide? What’s it sound like in your head? When you’re alone lying in your bed Don’t close your eyes… Cos’ I want to know What happens in there? Didn’t you know? It’s all in your head. Who is the one that goes by your name? And skilfully plays those social games Do you pretend that you don’t hear your secret thoughts and your silent fears? Don’t close your mind… Don’t close you eyes Don’t close your mind Don’t close your eyes… Cos’ I want to know What happens in there? Didn’t you know? It’s all in your head How can I know? If you won’t tell Didn’t you know? It’s all in your head.

You Know The Deal I can do what I want I don’t have to ask you I can say what I think I don’t have to pass it by you I don’t know what to do that’s right and true and pleases you I always lose. I can laugh when I want I don’t have to mind you I can love how I want I don’t have to love only you I can only say what I feel and what is real You know the deal… I’m just being me. I can go where I want I don’t have to take you You can choose what you like And not have to fear you’ll hurt me Everything could be allright For a little while we could smile And know that we each have our lives I can only say what I feel and what is real You know the deal… I’m just being me. Sitting her quietly, Thinking too freely Something just came over me I don’t have to love only you I don’t have to love only you I don’t have to love only you I don’t have to love only you

Really Truly 04:06
Really Truly I’ll meet you at the corner I’ll meet you there at noon Remember that it’s urgent I need to see you soon Cos something’s happened that is very, very wrong And I cant tell you now not over the phone (not over the phone) But I promise you that this time it’s really true Yeah I promise you that this time it’s really true I’ll meet you at the corner Ill meet you there at two We’ll sit and have a coffee And you can tell me what to do You’ve got to promise me I’ve only got your word And I’m so frightened of being overheard (we’re being overheard) I’ll meet you at the corner I’ll meet you ‘round the side I’ll meet you in the alley Or in the shed behind Please remember that my life is on the line And I’ll remember that you do it all the time (you do it all the time)

The Life Of Brian He sits in a chair behind the tollgate, every other day And all he needs to do is take one day… He has to get away So he takes himself away to the beach Where he’s out of reach Meets a young hitcher and they speak And he finds a moment of freedom Oh and he finally speaks his mind about his wasted life And for a brief moment he is flying This is the life of Brian. This is the life of Brian It’s just the life of Brian Who really cares about Brian anyway? Well you may not really care but the message has you scared Don’t want to make the same mistakes Not the ones that Brian made He keeps handing you advice It’ll make you think more than twice It must be hard to realise that you don’t like your wife Or your life, or your life, or your life This is the life of Brian This is the life of Brian He may think it sucks But who really gives a fuck? It’s just the life of Brian Who gives a shit about Brian anyway? It’s always easier to look the other way He must be of sixty years or more And he’s knocking on heavens door There’s something that’s been troubling him of late And he won’t forget his mates He has a miserable story to pass us down And wipe away our frowns All we have to do is sit and listen To the life of Brian No one really cares about Brian anyway It’s just too easy to look the other way But tell me… What if Brian was your name? Would it be so easy to look the other way? It’s just the life of Brian The life of Brian

Little Ditty 03:11
Little Ditty How can you live like this? I hear you say How can you forget the songs of yesterday? Do you remember that one it goes something like this? Do you remember this one? It goes something like… Doo doo doo n doop Doot doo dum dee day Doo doo doo n doop Doot doo dum dee day Doo Dum Dee day ☺ How can you forget the words again? That song was the best We sang it every day Why should I give it up for what you’ve kept from the past? I just do what I do and then I move on fast Do you remember that one it goes something like this? Do you remember this one? It went something like…

Lullaby 05:20
Lullaby Stop running now, here’s a good place to rest I think we lost them back there I can’t here their foot fall or voices no more There’s only our hearts moving air I can’t believe that we made it The road’s long and you must be tired So I’ll pretend I’m a giant In my arms a safe place to hide And I’ll stand guard here beside you I’ll keep my eye on this place So dream on little dreamer And sleep with a smile on your face Tomorrow we’ll set of at daybreak We’ll find food and drink along the way I know that your feet have got blisters But we must walk for seven more days So make sure you rest well tonight dear Don’t feel you need to be scared Because I’ll be here while you’re sleeping Awake and alert and prepared And I’ll stand guard here beside you I’ll keep my eye on this place So dream on little dreamer And sleep with a smile on your face In my arms a safe place tonight.

I Won't Play 05:23
I Won’t Play I’m in place where is seems like anything goes Like the patterns in black when I rub my eye-lids when they’re closed There’s a kaleidoscope where my carpet used to be I wonder if I can hear what you say you can see? Don’t look at me that way I won’t play your stupid games Don’t speak to me that way I don’t like your stupid games I won’t play I wonder when you will stop toying with my head? It’s only a matter of time until I’m locked inside my dread It’s a race for time and I could leave myself for dead Or find my way back to the place where I last bled Nothing in this room belongs to me And I’m too scared to stand up on my feet There’s too many people walking on the empty streets There’s no way you’ll ever hear me cry defeat I wont play your stupid games Don’t involve me in your games I’ve got no time for your mind games Just leave me alone Because I won’t play Your stupid games

Lend Your Ear I see you running But you can’t get far enough away I see you laughing On the other side of your face I see you mouthing The words that you can’t say I see you trying To look the other way So what are you afraid of here? I only want to lend your ear You never know it might change your mind If you find out how I feel inside I see you running But can you get far enough away? I see you laughing But did you know that I can see your face? I see you mouthing The words you want to say I see you crying As you look the other way

Still Up 04:01
Still Up I’m so tired of working so hard I’m so tired of sealing up my heart I’m so tired dreaming day and night I’m so tired of listening to you fight So sleep now, sleep now No babies crying Sleep now…sleep now The whole world’s tired I’m so tired walking through this door I’m so tired of sleeping on this floor I’m so tired felling like a whore I’m so tired losing this bloody war So sleep now, sleep now No babies crying Sleep now…sleep now The whole world’s tired
