GREATESTS HITS VOLUME 3
DISEMBODIED

I can't believe that you could take my heart
come into my world and try to take apart
my life
and everything about me
you know that this was going to kill me
and I can't
believe that you could be so almost innocent
but you can't be so real
and now I'm

CHORUS:
Disembodied but will I ever be here again
You know me
I know you
and now this world of mine is crashing down

And in the dark I came to see your face
a light
I'm blinded by the way you move
it's sad
and I can't help myself

Sometimes I wonder how you find a way
I never understood how you could
turn my day around
like everything was fine, everything was fate


HORSESHOE

I spent last night with a one-legged hooker
And I hope that I didn’t get a disease
And she wore fishnet hose, and cowboy boots
My God, that hooker aims to please

CHORUS:
And she had a scar
And if you looked from afar
It was the shape of a horseshoe
Shape of a horseshoe

I spent last night with a one-legged hooker
And I do believe that her name was Marge
And even though she had no fingers
She was still the one in charge

I spent last night with a one-legged hooker
And she didn’t need that other leg
Cause what she lacked with her basic limbs
She more than made up with her peg
And I’ll tell you why


NO MEANING

Sweet simplicity of your tears
As I look back at all these years
My heart is so persuaded by
Things I can¹t control... and I am lost
In things so complicated
But I won¹t be persuaded anymore

CHORUS:
I can't find a reason
To be educated
Maybe it's my nature
But I don't know, I don't know

Stillness of a moment passed
With beauty that is seen at last
I'm burnt out with a feeling
Cause feelings have no meanings... but I know
That people lose control
But who are we to judge the things they do


1-411

Looking back at a loss of innocence
My apologies for all the things I said
Actions speak louder than words, but words still hurt
How can you deny it?

CHORUS:
Somewhere an angel is crying its eyes out
But what are we to do? And what are we to say?
And I just don¹t remember anymore
Who are you?

Turn around and look into the mirror
And tell me what it is that you see
Are you still the same loving and happy person
That you used to be?

Sunny days and lemonade, solitaire and hit parades
I miss the little things you¹d say when I was down in disarray
And tears turn into ancient wine and I tell you I¹m feeling fine
I find myself in your arms

Lonely children look at me for instances of being free
And beauty comes and beauty goes but I¹ve never felt this way before
Just give me some time to get myself together
Just give me some time, Just give me some time


SILENT SOUNDS

Far along an unlit road
I had strayed too far from home
now I found myself alone
my heart, my mind, my flesh and bones
I don't know why I wasn't scared
maybe I was prepared
for lack of movement, silent sounds
that day my self was found

CHORUS:
Someone come and save my soul
heal me of my burdens, take away my sins
now I've found a new way home
and I'll never forget the one that led me here

fear had now deserted me
as I stood there peacefully
I sat down so that I could be
with new found tranquillity
silence pierced my tired ears
felt I'd been alone for years
with just the earth to dry my tears
the swaying trees to calm my fears

the sun had gone and night had come
I wished I had another one
to join me on my secret quest
to show me north from south from west
this journey had provided me
sense of security
there was so much for me to learn
but now I must return


STARDUST

I came to you to find the truth
Of what was going on
I'm glad I didn¹t have to know
You kept it from me
And in the silence of it all
You were a savior
I never wanted for you
To have to act this way

CHORUS:
In the light, in the dark
I never could be far apart
From your smile, from your eyes
And I melt each time you cry
In the light in the dark

And if you wonder where I am
You know how to find me
You can't keep me from caring now
I'm in too deep now
I've lost and loved and lost again
When will I find the one
I'm broken down, I'm giving up
Does anyone notice?


TOO MANY TIMES

Candy-coated elements of things that can't be
made to seem believing is the only belief
you're my one, you're my one
standing by me
as the only question still a mystery

forcing your ideas on degenerate me
you'll never know your reason and you'll never be free
I'm am me, you are you, just let it be
just let it be

CHORUS:
Too many times
I have to see
the sorrow in the mirror looking back at me
Too many times I lie and dream
a world of disillusion, nothing like it seems

there's so many fake people that act like they care
but when the time comes that I need them
I know they won't be there
they call me a good friend, they give me the small talk
but I know the lack of friendship isn't really my fault

and the truth will set you free

I'm deterred from feeling
like I still have a chance
to change my situation
to fix my circumstance
If I weren't so ambitious
as to have to give up
there's a chance that with some effort
I just might have some luck


TYING OFF THE DINOSAUR

Look into the sky to see why
I'm so out of luck and how
I'll never let you down... Back down to the ground
Fly back here tonight and try to
Ask another why they never tried
To set you free, as something else to be

CHORUS:
Look (I'll never ask this from you)
Back (I can't believe you said that)
To (I'm losing faith in you)
Me (I'm losing faith in me)

Look into the future for a glimpse of
What's ahead and never lose your head
To a feeling such as love
And reveal to me the meaning of
The things that you believe in
But don't tell me that you love me
Cause you don¹t know... what you're saying


UTOPIA

Walking down the road less traveled
I'm finding that the only one lost is me
A fading light, I'm losing sight
I sit here all alone at night
Trying to figure out what I should be
Looking at the one that I am losing
Finding out maybe he is losing me
The road has split, so this is it
I don't know what to make of it
Not to dwell is the only key

CHORUS:
Utopia
I'm running round in circles trying to find out where you are
Utopia
Settling for nothing won't get you very far

All alone all by myself
Misery, a life of wealth
People come and people go
There's nothing left for me to show


WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?

Alone by the curtains without you to see
I'm plotting my scam so meticulously
I've stumbled on bundles of love and remorse
I adore you forever, you know that of course
I'm changing my mind and I'm changing forever
I'm changing my name into something more clever
While children are pure and the nights are still silent
I can't find the words to dismiss all the violence

CHORUS:
Wait (I know you well) till I find myself
Again (You've come so far) without all your shouting
I (Where have you gone?) need a satellite to follow you

With visions of sugar plums still in my head
But would they all miss me if I turned up dead
I long for affection that can't be received
For someone impatient and naive like me
As days turn to weeks and the weeks turn to years
What once was so certain now causes great fear
But as people they come and people they go
You'll never regret any love that you show

CHORUS 2:
"Free" (To be so young) said the young desire
I've (Why can't I be?) never been on fire
I (Where have you gone?) need a reason to follow you


YOUTHFUL BLISS

Sometimes I remember my childhood, I was
Free from this pessimistic world
And in my very young eyes
I remember seeing that

CHORUS:
Everyone was always in a hurry
Minds of grown-ups always seemed so blurry
And I'm so sad
That everything has changed

Those days were endless
And there were sandbox soap operas but
How could we have known
That soon things would get complicated, cause

In the days of youthful bliss I can't believe that I was sad
We never had to think about the things that now can make us mad
I never thought that I'd be big, I always thought I'd be a kid
Whatever happened to the days of youthful bliss?

Children can be so cruel
How could I be so cruel
I'm so damn sorry
I'm so very sorry

Looking at eighteen years, endless joys and countless fears
And wishing for a chance to go back and change a few things
And now I'm counting cars that pass by, sometimes watching life just pass by
Whatever happened to childhood, gone too soon


OTHER YELLOW FIVE SONGS
ADDICTED TO YOU

A year ago
One fateful night
I didn't know
wrong from right

I followed you home
From a late late party
Little did you know
The fun had just started

CHORUS:
I'm addicted to you
woo hoo boy
I'm addicted to you
woo hoo, yeah

I waited awhile
In a tree outside
And then you fell asleep
And i snuck inside

There was a scream and a shout
I crawled in your room
How can you doubt
My love for you?

Pictures of you by my bedside
As I lay me down, I kiss you goodnight
You never respond, you never complain
I like it that way


BEN BROWN

You've got me wrapped in your arms
I never thought that I would be without any sense of balance
I should have known from the start
You didn't plan on being here forever

CHORUS:
You took a sharpie
wrote a peace sign on a rear view mirror
How strange, strange
You took my heart
But you forgot you had it in your pocket
How strange, strange

Sometimes you have to believe
Angels made of snow can often seem so very real
Feelings can often deceive

When falling from a cloud, you'll find the impact to be loud

Ben Brown!


BITTER SONG

I’ve been waiting for so long
Aching heart, and bitter song
And I just can’t be your angel anymore

CHORUS:
Let me give you everything I am
Let me try and understand
Broken down again

Quiet starla was the name
Searching on for rising fame
But will anybody love us anymore?

Laser beam, beauty queen, isolated submarine
I just want to be a genius, is that too much to ask?

If you want space, I’ll give you space


CRAZY (..."Not unless she's stark naked and holding a gun to my head")

She’s a little fucked up
She’s got BJ on the mind
she’s got artificial friendships that go on to make her blind
she is only sixteen years old, old enough to die
She’s got eyes that see forever so don’t even try to hide

CHORUS
"you’ve got time for me"
"I’ll make you love me"
And I just can’t believe
she said she could always find me
"It’s just you and me"
"I will make you see"
And I just can’t believe
She’s not normal, she’s just crazy

She’s a little fucked up, tried to get in with my friends
But she scared them like she scared me, so their friendship had to end
She was on a mission, tried to get inside of me
But I had to get away from there to keep my sanity


FAKING BLIND

You were seeing things, and I was faking blind
You cried the last bit of affection from your eyes
Lying, crying, almost dying you were all alone
But so am I, and I have lost control

CHORUS:
What a tragedy, live hypocrisy
I don't mind to be the one that you can turn to when he's gone
When I fall for you, nothing left to do
I just want to be around, find me in the lost and found

breakdown, your communication adds a lot of complication to an awkward situation
And I'm down, feeling uninvited but I guess we weren't sighted so I guess we're in the clear

I was underwater, you were floating there
I had to find a way to catch a breath of air
Kissing, crying, high school proms and all things inbetween
wear you down, wear you down


FALLING APART

I don't know why, I can't find the end
Maybe this time, depending on a friend
Looking this way, I'm so self assured
Looking at this day, I just can't afford

CHORUS:
To see you looking this way
To see my hands hold my face
To see you wrapped in the arms
To see it falling apart

You're my angel, you're my only thought
So surreal but, without it I'm not
Trying hard now, trying not to die
Trying hard now, because I know that I….

Looking down, staring at the ground
All the answers, waiting to be found
Fallen angel, such a minor risk
Pointless questions, does it all exist


NIGHT AND DAY

Light upon the eve of the morning
I knew I'd never be in this place again
And though there were so many people around me
I knew that loneliness was my only friend

And as the daylight shed it's patience upon me
I knew it was time to leave my cocoon
And show the world that I had wings like the others
That I was rising like a flower in bloom

CHORUS:
Take a bite of the midnight sky
Ride a made-up paradise
Put your emotions on the shelf
Look at my and see yourself

Countless rays of sunlight upon me
Shining like a heavenly force
And though I wish that I could just go to heaven
I know I've still got time here left on the earth

Night and day
In my eyes, in your eyes


PRINCESS

Sunday afternoon, wasn’t much to do
trying hard to stand, with your picture in my hand
but it’s no use
but don’t look too soon
in the absence of a feeling, I was questioning
the meaning of the world
and a girl
walk another avenue
walk until I’m back to you
and I said...

CHORUS:
"we can’t be here again"
I just can’t leave you alone
but I’m a little bit stronger
and I’m still here

She was on the town, I was broken down
crying in a pillow
just a new romantic mellow afternoon
but don’t look too soon
She had somewhat good intentions
but somehow she didn’t mention that...

And I'm still standing
in your silhouette
I never wanted for your sympathy
In matters of my misery
and I, am feeling betrayed

It was four am, she was calling him
just tried to end the fight
say "I love you" and "goodnight"
But it’s no use, he was gone too soon
As the tears began to drop
she thought her heart was going to stop,
cause he said...


RUNNIN' ON LOVE: THE NEIL MASON STORY,
A TRIBUTE TO THE DAHLIA LLAMAS

Runnin' on love

I, was so infallible I never could accept your logic
You, never stood out in a crowd la la la la la
Feeling so clandestine when you said we'd never fly
Wishing that I'd lost you in the corner of my eye
Got a reason for a placid flashback
Make a promise and I'll bet you come back

CHORUS:
We were caffeine heroes
Things were so easy
You've seen the good side
Now you're gonna see a little different side of me
Yeah, rock on

Time, for conversation and I'll act like you don't get to me so
We, can maybe finally get along la la la la la
Aiming for forever with an arrow in my heart
Hoping you can finish something that you tried to start
Look back at a placid flashback
I'll miss you until you come back

You were standing by yourself
All alone on a mantel shelf
And it was Halloween
Come and shine


66 SECOND SONG

66 seconds to take over the world
And I forgot all about reality
You've been so diabolical in
Finding me whenever you please
Now don't you go

I wrote a haiku about you
But it didn't make sense, no
I feel so tired around you
No real suspense
Now don't you go
And try to make everything right
66 seconds


TIRED EYES

I gave my life to you that day
I never thought it'd end this way
And when I look around at this
My tired eyes just reminisce

Without a social conscience
The only thing you'll find is
Just because your mouth is open
Doesn¹t mean you mind is

CHORUS:
Looking at me with a smile
Couldn't you hold it all in for a while
Goodnight to it all
Goodnight

And when we look at other years
We laugh at things that brought us tears
For so long it's been all the same
When years of joy bring years of pain

I was voted best in school by a panel of 49 judges
Then I became enlightened by the 16th Book of Judges
And night began to call me into a hypnotism
I found that I was lacking some sense of realism


WORDS UNSAID
(Lyrics by Hardaway/Pistilli)

Leaves spinning slowly to the ground around me
I am here
Can you see me sitting?

I wonder what he¹s thinking
And I can't seem to place the face
But there's something in his eyes
And I just think she'll be surprised again

CHORUS:
They'll find that love
Lies only in the words unsaid
In the eyes
In the unforseen

They all think they know what's happening
As long as we don't dig too deep
As long as we don't try too hard
Don't love too long
