If not now 03:40
Your own life Is in your hands This, you gotta understand The moment has arrived It’s close at hand If not now, then when? If not now, then when When will we make it happen? If not now, then when when when? I hear the sound of the multitude Women, children, men Down in the streets to claim what’s theirs And the rumour’s spreading All across the land If not now, then when? Tomorrow could be the day When we all stand And join together hand in hand There’s a new day dawning There might be no second chance So if not now, then when?

6.29 Rise and shine And smile away the tears of yesterday night Get dressed up Have a coffee cup There’s no more time to waste for the sun’s already up It’s a perfect day A perfect day To make the whole world listen to what we have to say We can have it all Have it our own way We can be who we want to be Only for a day We can have it all Have it our own way You and I could be King and Queen Only for a day You and I See eye to eye And it feels like we could almost touch the sky The feeling’s strong So strong Sometimes we think this might last till Kingdom Come So come on now Wear the crown The shiny crown of love that we have just found

She says I can’t stand The situation The situation Anymore I can’t stand Being with him Being with him Anymore That’s why I take Those sleeping pills They make me numb They make me clean So let me take Those sleeping pills It’s only time they kill They kill I can’t stand The situation The situation Anymore It tears me up But I don’t love him No I don’t love him Anymore I can’t stand The situation The situation Anymore No I can’t stand The situation The situation Anymore

Broken 03:30
We never thought that the day would come When we would come undone Take a look at what we’ve become Never thought this day could ever be The last for you and me We should have known better, you see Comforting words are hard to find There’s more to this than meets the eye Can’t you see, everything is broken And everything just falls apart Our broken homes, our broken hearts Can’t you see, everything is broken Never thought the night would fall so fast And here we are at last But don’t you know we’re going nowhere fast? We never thought this could be the end And now that this is the end Can you tell me where we stand?

I’ve been walking through this town Looking for you in everyone I found They shrug their shoulders, shake their heads and frown It seems you have disappeared somehow Let us just call it a day I guess there’s nothing more to say The sun goes down You’re nowhere to be found Let us just call it a day The morning sun found me up again Like a mad dog let loose among the men Howling at their shadows as they stand Trying to figure out what he can’t understand

The letter 03:48
I found your letter the other day Some words had already worn away Regretful lines Faded in time Which I barely remember today I read your letter the other day The love you swore, the promises you made Regretful lines That made me smile And made me snigger all the same I’m sorry for what I have done Now I know I was wrong Please remember if you can Maybe we can start again I burnt your letter the other day It may sound sad but I have to say That all in all It makes no difference at all I don’t recall who you were anyway We won’t start again…

Black blood, black heart Your love is tearing me apart Black blood, black heart Your love is tearing me apart I know all my loving’s wasted on you I know you feel the same way too I need no explanation For your infatuation But I’m no longer the person You want They say blood is thicker It’s thicker than water But your love is even stronger It’s true I know this love is danger I’ve seen how its power Has grown and taken over Over you Bad blood is between us And I’m sick of all the fuss Makes me wanna give up on lust Today I knew it from the start I wasn’t meant to play that part Still I don’t have the heart To go away Black blood, black heart Your love is tearing me apart Black blood, someday My love I’m gonna make you pay

On the phone 03:41
Remember the hours we spent On the phone Talking, laughing, sighing, then All alone Together and apart With so much in our hearts All the hours spent on the phone It all seemed so simple then On the phone But all good things come to an end And I should have known I let our love go by Happiness was on the line Now I have none to call my own And I know Time is slipping by I think of you and I Try to smile not to cry I wish I still could call you my friend Like everyone Wish I could make love again Like anyone I wish I had more time I wish I could say that I’m fine Honey, you are still the one Remember the hours we spent (‘Seemed so simple on the phone) Talking, laughing, sighing, then (Now it’s done I’m all alone)

So Now you see But you know You’re not ready Don’t tell me They did not tell you so Cause they warned you Long ago But you were just too busy Making the same mistakes Wearing that luring smile On your face Now it’s time To face the facts The consequences of your acts And there won’t be smiles any longer You had it coming! You had it coming! You had it coming! You had it coming! And now There’s nothing you can do about it! Yeah Deep down inside You must have known You had nowhere left to hide This time And no Matter how hard they tried It was never enough For what you had in mind And you were just too busy Making the same mistakes And now that you should prove yourself Well, you haven’t got what it takes Now it’s time To face the facts The consequences of your acts And there won’t be smiles any longer So Now you see But you know You’re not ready Don’t tell me They did not tell you so Cause they warned you Long ago

Let the sun 04:34
“I’ve always loved those autumn days” So you said “When the cold wind sweeps away All that is dead” Well, I don’t see things your way I’ve grown tired of all the rain And now I long for something sweeter Who am I to tell you so I don’t know Who am I to tell you so “There’s nothing good in humankind” So you said “Hope has gone and left us behind And love is dead” I wish I could change your mind Make you see things in a different light Maybe you could love me better Who are you to treat me so I don’t know Who are you to treat me so I don’t know Let the sun into your life Let the moon change your mind Let the stars fall into Your eyes I wish I could change your mind Make you see things in a different light Maybe you could love me better Who am I to tell you so I don’t know Who am I to tell you so I don’t know Won’t you change your mind? Please, change your mind Won’t you change Your mind

There’s no need to speak I know how you feel People come and go Some bruises never heal I know that it hurts And it hurts a lot When your heart is dead And you are not Don’t say you’re sorry Don’t apologize You can’t stop those tears Running from your eyes I can take it all I know how you feel I know you must feel Like a ship caught in a storm Like a baby, newly born Like a king without a throne Like the stars that fade away before the dawn So alone Everybody aches I guess I know the score Cause I’ve been through this A few times before But there’s one more thing You should know by now Even though, somehow You feel Like a ship caught in a storm Like a baby, newly born Like a king without a throne Like the stars that fade away before the dawn Like a letter that’s been torn Like a shape without a form Like a kid without a home And nothing he can even simply call his own But you’re not alone You’re not alone
