Let
Me Show You
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
This shattered town gets me down
My ticket's booked then you were found
I tore them up like you tore my heart
I'm black and blue from love and art
(Give it up, Gimme)
Who could take it?
(Give it up, Gimme)
I guess I'll shake it, but
No-one touches all you are
Strip to show me all you are
Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)
Well through the twilight how I've tried
To get my thoughts deep in your mind
In my sleep I've tasted you
Intoxicated by your every move
(Give it up, Gimme)
Who could take it?
(Give it up, Gimme)
I guess I'll shake it, but
No-one touches all you are
Strip to show me all you are
Let me show you how you make me feel
(I've got my finger on the trigger)

Possibilities
Hutchence/Saber
Copyright Control
It's so strange
How my life's changed
I know nothing
About the people that I touched
Heard a story
It sounded easy
If you don't care
Then you're lying through your teeth
I was shook up
Intoxicated
Drank the juices
Of the possibilities
I'm so alive
If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free
I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be
It's too strange
How your life's changed
You know nothing
About the people that you've touched
Someone told me
Life is easy
Hearts were bleeding and breaking
They were lying through their teeth
If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free
I will show you
Why it's worth it
And that's the way that it's meant to be
If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free
I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be
Heard a story
It sounded easy
Got a new skin and
I'm lying through my teeth
I was shook up
Intoxicated
I drank the juices of the possibilities
Of the possibilities

Get
on The Inside
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
I'm never gonna make you suffer
If you want my better side
I'm gonna give you all my sugar
When it comes to taking the ride
I will never let your words be washed away
There are oceans to be named by you
Inside we lay in the shadows
Outside they push the skin parade
All the streets have turned from red to blue
It's probably gonna stay that way
Don't let me go
And stop you
If you're looking for a better view
Gonna take a ride
From here to heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside
Gonna take a ride
To eleventh heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside
Are we gonna kill the things
that mean the most
As a junkie and a jailer too
We're gonna recognise the faces
If we're searching for the life we knew
All the streets have turned from red to blue
It's probably gonna stay that way
Don't let me go
And stop you
If you're looking for a better view
Gonna take a ride
From here to heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside
Gonna take a ride
To eleventh heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside
All you people talking so lonely
Making plans that your daddy wanted
Setting it up for the biggest falling
How you gonna learn, learn to fake it?
Having trouble with the dirty make-up
Never gonna learn what
you're running from
Acting like the world just owes you
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Gonna take a ride
From here to heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside
Gonna take a ride
To eleventh heaven
Gonna take a ride
Get on the inside

Fear
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
Tell me something
I gotta know
All your troubles
I wanna own
I'm not preaching 'cause I'm full of sin
Nothing's secret that I have not done
Alone with your situation
Fear on the face you're saving
Kiss the warm knives as they dig for your soul
There in the corner of my dirty home
Take the silver: I've paid that price
Here's the scandal
They don't let the truth get in the way
Alone with your situation
Fear on the face you're saving
Don't you worry don't you run away
There are some things that we know will never change
Don't you worry don't you look away
There are some things that we know we'll have to change
Burning, teasing, searching, fever, twisting,
turning
I'm the white truth dealer
Alone with your situation
Fear on the face you're saving

All
I'm saying
Hutchence/Simenon
Copyright Control
You put your heart
With trust
Into my hands
I held so tight
Kept you protected from things
Did you ever think about it
Did you ever cry about it
Would you ever, ever doubt it
All I'm saying
Is come around
Tell me 'bout
The life you found
I put my heart
With trust
Into your hands
One day, changes come
Some pain and rain comes falling down
Did you ever think about it
Don't say it
Did you ever lie about it
Don't say it
Could you ever live without it
All I'm saying
Is come around
Tell me 'bout
The life you found
Tell me 'bout the life you found
We search endlessly
For answers to war and pain
We love the nights
Some days we laugh, feel like it's alright
Did you ever think about it
Don't say it
Did you ever cry about it
Don't say it
Could you ever live without it
All I'm saying
Is come around
Tell me 'bout
The one you found
All I'm saying
Is come around
Tell me bout
The one you found

A
straight line
Hutchence/Gill
Yeah we're just watching history
Now that the dogs are barking
Take a picture for your children
Make it real in FujiColor
Life in the junkyard's hard
Even when the dogs are sleeping
But if you win you lose the next spin
Madame, monsieurs, rien ne va plus
I watch the black and white bleeding
Don't you know the pain I'm in
I've been working all week
I've been thinking on my feet
And I've come to the end of my losing streak
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
Wave goodbye to your innocence
Sell it to the highest bidder
In a tight spot call for assistance
Is that American Express?
Get me out of here
I watch the black and white bleeding
Don't you know the pain I'm in
I've been working all week
I've been thinking on my feet
And I've come to the end of my losing streak
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
Take a straight line
I'm up the top, looking down
Everybody looks just like ants
It would be so easy

Baby
It's Alright
Hutchence/Saber
Copyright Control
It wouldn't be right to take it
It wouldn't be right lying down
I'm sick of the dogs outside my window
That's right
Take a look
You've been with a hook stuck into me
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
Look at the mess I'm makin'
Look at that mess across your face
As bitterness started showin'
Five years
No-one hears
Just another night too scared to bleed
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
Give you some time to feel it
I tangled you up in flesh and blood
Just to scared of where I took you
Spotlight blue to red crashin' in your head
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright
So baby it's alright, it's alright
So baby it's alright, it's alright
So baby it's alright, it's alright
So baby it's alright, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
To fall into your arms

Don't
Save Me From Myself
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
I'm not keeping time
Get me outta here
Folding up my crimes
Ready for what's said to me
All that glitters shine
Love that new attraction
Animal inside
Leads me to the conclusion
Don't save me from myself
Don't save me from myself
I listen to the wind
And mystery comes alive
Don't tie me up again
Separate love from possession
Does all that glitters shine
Love that new attraction
Animal inside
Leads me to the conclusion
Don't save me from myself
Don't save me from myself

She
Flirts For England
Hutchence/Gill
Oh give her the summer
Let her live another
She warms to the kiss of goodbye
Her momma took a preacher
Her daddy pays for lovers
Her eyes like a winter sky
Hear the echoes
Calling for the secrets we hide
She's flirting for England
She's flirting for England
She's flirting for England
She's flirting for England
She comes to the party
On a kiss don't tell pony
And lets me have the first of her sighs
Tricks came so easy
But you know she keeps your secrets
The tracks of the tears she will hide
Oh voices
Calling for the secrets we hide
She's flirting for England
She's searching for England
She's flirting, flirting, flirting
She's a complicated cookie
She's flirting, flirting, flirting
She's a complicated cookie

Flesh
and Blood
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
Strip away the bones and skin
Looking for what lies within
See the stars so cold above
Makes no sense of your flesh and blood
You walked the longest walk
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside
Took away the words, want to hear again
You were outside, something inside
All of the days we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you
Strip away the bones and skin
Show me what lies within
Would you be the one that I love
Makes no sense of your flesh and blood
You walked the longest walk
Talked the toughest talk
You were outside, something inside
Took away the words, want to live again
You were outside, something inside
All of the days we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you
We'd be making love
Make it right
All of these we thought would come
All of the words we thought had gone
All of the pain and pleasure gone
Without you

Put
The Pieces Back Together
Hutchence/Gill
Copyright Control
Saw a million pieces
Of the shape I'm in
Hanging from a chandelier
Have a taste of everything
Nothing gonna get me crying out for more
Seen nothing to seduce me
Seen it all before
He's another leader
Pretty head on the block
Got another axe to grind
If the dust ain't hard
Can he taste the money dripping off the tongue
All is fair in love and war
With a cold heart and a smoking gun
Sooth me
Sue me
Sooth me
Sue me
Put the pieces back together
Every moment back together
In your quiet moments
Looking back in tears
Can I count the nights you've lived
That you'd live again
Looking for the real thing to even up the score
Finding out you're lonely
With an open door
Sooth me
Sue me
I guess I lied too
I saw a million pieces
Of the shape I'm in
Hanging from a chandelier
Put the pieces back together
Pussy cat, pussy cat
Where have you been?
I've been down to London
To see the queen

Breathe
Hutchence/Saber

She got the future wrapped up inside her
Every day without her feels like a crime
He wants to show her over and over
The way two people turn into one
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing,
breathing
Baby come closer whisper your secrets
I'll tell you yours if you tell me mine
Well here comes the reason deep in your nature
We're creatures always trying to prove love
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing,
breathing
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
She got the future wrapped up inside her
Every day without her feels like a crime
He wants to show her over and over
The way two people turn into one
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing,
breathing
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Breathe out, breathe out, breathe out

Slide
Away
Hutchence/Gill
Are you gonna wake again?
Are you gonna take it down?
Oh babe, I don't wanna deal it
Oh, make it alright
Gimme some, my love
Away, away, away
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I will see that love again, and find a life again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let it go
I wanted to let it go
Just couldn't let you go
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you as you fall
(Just couldn't let it go)
I would catch you
(Just couldn't let you go)
I'd catch you if I heard your call
But you tore a hole in space
Like a dark star, falls from grace
You burn across the sky
And I would find you wings to fly
And I would catch you
I would catch your fall
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again
I will see that love again, and find a life again
I just wanna slide away and come alive again |
