Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little word
Painful to me
Pierce right
through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feeling are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
Enjoy the silence

я_Love in Itself
All of this insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And definite lasts
That lay in store for me
There was a time
When all om my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself
Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me
All of doubts
And the certainties
That lay in store for us
я_More Than a Party
Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
We haven't enough of this blind man's buff
You've kept us in the dark for long enough
This is more than a party
More than a party
More than a party
Keep telling us we're to have fun
Than take all the ice-cream so we've got none
The magician waves his wand
And in an instant the laughter's gone
Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more
я_Pipeline
Get out the crane
Construction time again
What is it the time
We're laying a pipeline
Let the beads sweat flow
Until the ends have met though
Could take along time
Working on the pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
- 3 -
On this golden day
Work's been sent our way
That could last a lifetime
Looking on the pipeline
From the heart of our land
To the mouth of the man
Must reach him sometime
We're laying a pipeline
Taking from the greedy
Giving to the needy
я_Everything Counts
The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract still intact
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph on the wall
Tell the story of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little
More power
Confidence taken in
By a suntan and a grin
Everything counts in large amounts
я_Two Minute Warning
We're lying by the orange sky
Two million miles across the land
Scattered to the highest high
Expect they'll either laugh or cry
No sex,no consequense,no sympathy
You're good enough to heat
Two minute warning
Two minutes later
When time has come
My days are numbered
The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and I go hand in hand
No radio,no sound,no sin,no sanctuary
So welcome to your last
- 4 -
The sub,the solitude,the cemetery
So welcome to your last
я_Shame
Do you ever get that feeling
When the quilt begins to hurt
Seeling all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
Soap won't wash away your shame
Do you ever get that feeling
That something isn't right
Seeling your brother's fist
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctor stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Surgery won't improve your pain
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid
Do you ever get that feeling
That something can be done
To eradicate those problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch
And all the while the doctors
Stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch
Hope alone won't remove the stains
Shame
я_The Landscape Is Changing
The landscape is changing
The landscape is crying
Thousands of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the
Forest line
Acid streams are flowing I'll across the countryside
Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
Now we are re-arranging
There is no use denying
Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing
- 5 -
Evolution. The solution or the certainty
Can you imagine this instrusion of their privacy
Token cestures, some semblance of intelligence
Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance
я_Told You So
And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers
And walk upon their brothers
While the heads are busy lying low
Trying to keep to cower ...oh
Something went wrong
Along the way
Everibody's waiting for
Judgement day
So they can go
Told you so
Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall
Church spire
Standing in line
The blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting
For overdue sign
Brothers and sisters
Playing chinese whispers
Playing chinese whispers
If things aren't suited
Then they'll get diluted
There is one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled
я_And Then
Let's take a map of the world
Tear in into pieces
All of the boys and the girls
Will see how easy it is
To pull it all down and start again
From the top and the bottom and then
I'll have faith or, I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse
All that we need at the start's
Universal revolution (that all !)
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solutions
Took a plane across the world
Got in a car
When I reached my destination
I hadn't got far
Let's take the whole of the world
The mountains and the sand
Let all of the boys and the girls
Shape it in their hands

я_Something to Do
My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
Tell me
Is there something to do
I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me,tell me
Is there something to do
Gray sky over a black town
I can feel depression all around
You've got your leather boots on
Is there something to do
I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town doesn't sink
You've got your leather boots on
Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard for too little
You've got your leather boots on
You're feeling the boredom too
I'm gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on
I'd put your pretty dress is oil stained
я_Lie to Me
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it
Promises made for covenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need need
Truth is a word
That's cost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
- 3 -
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be becoming my way
я_People Are People
People are people
So why should be
You and I should get along
So awfully
So we're different colours
And we're different breends
And different people
Have different needs
It's ovious you hate me
Though live done nothing wrong
I've never even met you
So that could I have done
I can't understand
What makes a man,this another man
Help me understand
Now you're punching and you're kicking
And you're shouting at me at me
I'm relying on your common
Decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists
я_It Doesn't Matter
I am happy that I have you
Even though you're here now
I know somewhere you are dreaming
Though it's definitely not of me
It doesn't matter if these all shatters
Nithing lasts forever
But I'm praying
That we're staying together
I am warmed by your friendship
Even when yuo're far away
And I'm happy in the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you and you kiss me
Don't pretended you miss me
The worst kind of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy
If should meet again
Don't try to solve a puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don't move a muscle
- 4 -
I will thank most of all for
The respect you have for me
I'm embarassed it over whe|e|ms me
Because I don't deserve any
я_Stories of Old
Take a look at unselected cases
You'll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to disastrous effect
You hear stories of old of princes bold
With riches unfold,happy souls
Casting it all a side to take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams at their side
But not me,I couldn't do that
Not me,I don't like that
I couldn't sacrifice anything at all to love
I really like I'm attracted to you
The way you move the things you do
I'll probably burn in hell for saying this
But I'm really in heaven whenever we kiss
Oh no ! You won't change me
You can try for an eternity
I couldn't sacrifice anything at all to love
Now I've got things to do, you have too
And I've got to be me, you've got to be you
So take my hand and feel these lips
And let's savour a kiss like we'd savour a sip
Of vintage wine one more time
Let's surrender to this love divine
But we won't sacrifice anything at all to love
я_Somebody
I want somebody to share
To share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And get me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll give me out
- 5 -
And won't easly be converted
To my way of thinking
In face she'll ten disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought
And with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully try to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm a sleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
я_Master and Servant
It's a lot like life
There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it Master and Servant
It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on the top and me underneath
Forget all about
Equality
Let's play Master and Servant
It's a lot like life
And that's what's appealing
If you despise that
Throw away feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're all just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let's play Master and Servant
- 6 -
я_If You Want
Working week's come to its end
Party time is here again
Everyone can come if they want to
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Exercise your basic right
We could build the building site
From the bricks of shame is built the hope
If you want to be with me
Even though you may still not want to
Let tomorrow and today
Bring a life of extasy
Wipe away your tears of confusion
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
я_Blasphemous Rumours
Girl of 16
Whole life hate of her
Slashed her wrists bored with life
Didn't succeed.Thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame.It's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sence of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car.Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came a rain and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

я_Black Celebration
Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of the another black day
I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see
Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me
I want to take you
In my arms
Forgeting all I couldn't do today
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of the another black day
I look to you
And your strong belief
Me,I want relief
Tonight
Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgeting all you couldn't do today
Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight
я_Fly on the Windscreen - Final
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
- 3 -
Reminding us
We could be turn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I fill
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
я_A Question of Lust
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm
Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know
- 4 -
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realize)
I's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to drink
Before I'm anyone's
And you know
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home
It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
я_Sometimes
Sometimes
Only sometimes
I question everything
And I'm the first to admit
If you catch me in mood like this
I can be tiring
Even embarassing
But you must
Feel the same
When you look around
You can't tell me honestly
- 5 -
You're happy with what you see
Oh sometimes
You must be ...
You must be ...
Only sometimes
As embarassing as me
Sometimes
я_It Doesn't Matter Too
As I lay with you
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That's doesn't matter
Though we may be the last in the world
We feel like pioneer
Telling hopes and fears
To one another
And oh what a feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feels good now
I know it's only for now
The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realize
It doesn't matter
я_A Question of Time
I've got to get you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get you first
It's just a question of time
Well now you're only fifteen
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They're persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
I can see them now
- 6 -
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long
Until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look to you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
It's just a question of time
It should be better
It's just a question of time
It should be better with you
It's just a question of time
я_Stripped
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let hours pass
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours
Let me see you
- 7 -
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you
Speaking just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you
Speaking just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you
Crying just for me
я_Here Is House
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And there's someone
Calling on the telephone
Let's stay home
It's cold outside
And I have so much
To confide to you
With or without words
I'll confide everything
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
So we stay at home
- 8 -
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
And I feel your warmth
And it feels like home
Here is the house
Where it all happens
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
я_World Full of Nothing
Close
Naked
Skin on skin
Tears are falling
Tears of joy
Her first boy
His first girl
Makes a change
In world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something
She's lonely
And he says
It's for her only
That he lusts
She doesn't trust him
Nothing is true
But he will do
In world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something
It's easy to slip away
And believe it all
Though it's not love
It means something

я_Dressed in Black
She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm beggoing for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black again
My mind wonders endlessly
On paths wher she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
Not when we're alone
And she's dressed in black
As a picture of herself
She's picture of the world
A reflection of you
A reflection of me
And it's all there to see
If you only give in
To the fire within
Oh dressed in black again
Shadows fall onto me
As she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black again
Dressed in black again

Never let me down again
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
We've flying high
We've watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down the ground
I'm takin' a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
We've flying high
We've watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down the ground
Never let me down
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything is alright tonight
The things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that ( two times )
They know my weakness
( I never tried to hide them )
They know my weakness
( I never denied them )
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weakness
( I never tried to hide them )
They know my weakness
( You tried them )
I get to carried away
You brought me down to Earth

I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weakness
( I never tried to hide them )
They know my weakness
( You tried them )
They know me better than that
Strange love
There'll be times when my crimes
Will seem almost unforginable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worth white
And I'll make your heart smite
Strange love
Strange highs and strange lows
Strange love
That's now my love goes
Strange love
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give it to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give it to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
Oh, I'll make it all worth white
I'll make your heart smite
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again - pain
I'll say it again - pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again

You help her forget

You're not part of it yet

You could drive her away

She could escape there

Do you know what she means
As time goes by
And when you see what she's been
You will
Little 15
Little 15
Why does she have to defend
Her feelings inside
Why pretend
- 6 -
She's not had a life
A life of near misses
Now all that she wants
Is three little wishes
She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile
She wants a nice surprise
Every once in a while
Little 15
Behind the wheel
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I have myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh, little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You behind the wheel, tonight
I want you now
I want you now
Tomorrow won't do
There's a yearing inside
And it's showing through
Reach out you hand
And accept my love
- 7 -
We're waited for too long
Enough is enough
I want you now
My heart is aching
My body is birning
My hands are shaking
My head is turning
You understand
It's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill
We've got nothing to lose
I want you now
And I don't me to sound
Like one of the boys
That not what I'm trying to do
I don't want to be
Like one of the boys
I just want you now
Because I've got a love
That don't wait
A love growing
And it's getting late
Do you know what it means
To be left this way
When everyone's gone
And the feeling they stay
I want you now
To have and to hold
I need to be cleansed
It's time to take amends
For all of the fun
The damage is done
And I feel diseased
I'm down on my knees
And I need forgiveness
Someone to hear witness
To be godness within
Beneath the sin
Although I may flirt
With all kinds of dirt
To the point of disease
Now I want to release
From all this decay
Take it away
And somewhere
There's someone who cares
With a heart of gold
To have and hold

яWorld in My Eyes
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't want have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
We won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there's
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heavens in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there's
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there's
Let me show you the world in my eyes
яThe Sweetest Perfection
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't findy none
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
The sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
I stop and I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thud in me /** ??? **/
Feel something tugging me
Than I want the real things not tokens
The sweetest perfection ...
Thing you expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
I know that nothing can stop me
- 3 -
The sweetest injection
As offer was made
As assorted collection ...
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing can stop me
яPersonal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own Personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling's unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your shest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
Feeling's unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own Personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
яHalo
You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse
There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see
- 4 -
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
But your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms
And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
яWaiting for the Night
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquillity
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
I'm waiting for the night
There is s sound in the calm
Someone is coming in the harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
And when I squinted rose-tinded
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things look even better
Than they were opened
Been waiting for the night to fall
I know that it would save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
Been waiting for the night
Now everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquillity

яEnjoy the Silence
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
Enjoy the silence
яThe Policy of Truth
You had something to hide
Should have hidden it shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy the truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
- 6 -
In the policy the truth
Never again ...
яBlue Dress
Put it on
And don't say a word
Put it on
The one that I prefer
Put it on
And stand before my eyes
Put it on
Please don't question why
Can you believe
Something so simple
Something so trivial
Makes me happy man
Can't you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It's to please me
Because when you learn
You know what makes the world turn
Put it on
I can feel so much
Put it on
I don't need to touch
Put it on
Here before my eyes
Put it on
Because you realize
Something so worthless
Serves a purpose
Makes me happy man
Can't you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It's to please me
Because when you learn
You know what makes the world turn
яClean
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
I don't understand
What destiny's planned
- 7 -
I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands
I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show
Sometimes ...
Clean ...
As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and the turn
As they ride with the tide
I don't advice
And I don't criticize
I just know what like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Clean
Sometimes
яDangerous
The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I will choose
And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me any way
Dangerous
The way you leave me waiting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
Know I will come to harm
The lies to tell
Aren't mean to deceive
They're not there for me to believe
I've heard your vicious words
You know but now
It takes a lot to see me hurt
And I wouldn't take it any other way
But there's a price.Have to pay

The Sweetest Perfection
-----------------------
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't finely hone
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
Sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
Afraid that I care too much
And hardly I dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Then I want the real things not tokens
The sweetest perfection...
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone one knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection...
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing can stop me.
Personal Jesus
--------------
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a fogiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown
And you're alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a fogiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith.

And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
