Home / Tabs / Lyrics
Please Forgive Me
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Woh woh woh I
Woh woh woh I
Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Babylon
Friday night, I'm going nowhere, All the lights are changing green to red,
Turning over TV stations, Situations running through my head,
Well looking back through time, You know it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart, To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule.
Saturday I'm running wild, And all the lights are changing red to green,
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing, Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream,
Only wish that you were here, You know I'm seeing it so clear, I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel, Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made,
If you want it, Come and get it, Crying out loud
The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt,
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London Shining , Sky is fading red to blue,
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home, You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe
Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me,
If you want it, Come and get it, Crying out loud
The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt,
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
Babylon, Babylon
My Oh My
What on earth is going on in my heart,
Has it turned as cold as stone,
Seems these days I don't feel anything,
Less it cuts me right down to the bone,
What on earth is going on in my heart,
My oh my you know it just don't stop, It's in my mind, I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off, But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing, To push on till the end, My oh my
What on earth is going on in my head, You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite, Thought I knew what love was for,
I look around these days and I'm not so sure, no, no, no
My oh my you know it just don't stop It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off, But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love my friend,
To keep your heart from freezing, To push on till the end,
My oh my you know I just can't win, I burn it down it comes right back again
What kinda world is this we're living in, where you never win
It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love these days,
To keep your heart from freezing, To keep your spirit free,
My oh my you know it just don't stop,
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up,
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off But it's not enough,
It takes a lotta love It takes a lotta love my friend,
To keep your heart from freezing To push on till the end
My oh my it just don't stop
We're not right
Feel the weight of this passing time, All those crazy faces run through my mind,
And that song has brought a teardrop to my eye,
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top, No we're not right,
I see this world but I can't relate, Hey that everything must accelerate
Betty Ford oh won't you be my valentine
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top, No, we're not right,
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking, But i just can't stop,
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top, No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top,
And now my hands are shaking, But I just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top, No we're not right
When I'm weak and my head is sore. And I feel like I can't go on no more,
I come in here where normal rules do not apply,
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top No we're not right
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
NightBlindness
A million to one outsiders, Nightblindness, Can't see
Your bright eyes are what the time is, Twenty five past eternity,
Hear you listening to the silence, Coming closer Now further away,
What we gonna do when the money runs out,
I wish that there was something left to say,
Where we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day,
I'm sick of all the same romances, Lost chances Cold storms
Propping mountains up On matchsticks, Dragging baskets full of bones,
And honey please don't stop your talking, 'Cause there's a feeling won't leave me alone,
What we gonna do when the money runs out, I wish that there was something I could say,
How we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day?
What we gonna do when the money runs out I wish that there was something left to say
How we going to find the eyes to see the bright of day?
The bright of day the bright of day
Silver Lining
Take this silver lining Keep it in your own sweet head,
Shine it when the night is burning red,
Shine it in the twilight Shine it on the cold cold ground,
Shine it till these walls come tumbling down,
We were born with our eyes wide open, so alive with wild hope now,
Can you tell me why time after time, They drag you down,
Down in the darkness deep, Fools in their madness all around,
Know that the light don't sleep,
Step into the silence, Take it in your own two hands,
And scatter it like diamonds All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for Innocence and magic-amen
We were born with our eyes wide open, so alive with wild hope now,
Can you tell me why time after time, They drag you down,
Down in the darkness deep, Fools in their madness all around,
Know that the light don't sleep,
Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around -Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep
White Ladder
White ladder Water and wine, Forever crying Oh time
Don't wanna feel tonight There's no rhyme or reason to life This sweet life
White river Thunder and war Forever crying Oh no
Don't wanna feel tonight There's no rhyme or reason to life This seet life
To the night another body To the night another name
To the night another valentine A burning flame
To the night another body To the night another name
To the night another valentine A burning flame
White ladder Water and wine Don't wanna feel tonight
This Years Love
This years love had better last, Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do It feels so right, oh yeah
I start to forget How my heart gets torn, When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles one time again, It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me you got to know for sure,
Cos it takes something more this time, Than sweet sweet lies, oh yeah
Before I open up my arms and fall,
Losing all control, Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
So whose to worry If our hearts get torn, When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me On that midnight street, Sweep me off my feet,
Singing ain't this life so sweet,
This years love had better last
Sail Away
Sail away with me honey, I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me, What will be will be, I wanna hold you now
Crazy skies all wild above me now, Winter howling at my face,
And everything I held so dear, Disappeared without a trace,
Oh all the times I've tasted love, Never knew quite what I had,
Little Darling if you hear me now, Never needed you so bad,
Spinning round inside my head
Sail away with me honey, I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me, What will be will be, I wanna hold you now
I've been talking drunken gibberish I've been pushing at the bars
Trying to find some explanation here For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far
Sail away with me honey, I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me, What will be will be, I wanna hold you now
Say Hello Wave Goodbye (Almond / Ball)
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo crying at the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
You and I, yeah, had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,
Take your hands off me, I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time, I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello and wave goodbye, Say hello and wave goodbye,
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you see,
Well I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that's goin to be played my way
Take your hands off me, hey, I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time, I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye, Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails,
Say hello and wave goodbye Say hello and wave goodbye
