- Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?
- Time
Letra
Don't put your head on my shoulder Sink me in a river of tears This could be the best place yet But you must overcome your fears [Chorus:] Oh, in time It could have been so much more The time is precious I know In time It could have been so much more The time has nothing to show Because Time won't give me time And time makes lovers feel Like they've got something real But you and me We know we've got Nothin' but time And time won't give me time Won't give me time (Time, time, time) Don't make me feel any colder Time is like a clock in my heart Touch we, touch was the Heat too much I felt I Lost you from the start [Chorus: x2] - I'll Tumble 4 Ya
- Colour My Numbers
- Church Of The Poison Mind
Letra
Desolate loving in your eyes, you used and made my life so sweet. Step out like a God found child, I saw your eyes across the street. Who would be the fool to take you, be more that just kind? Step into a life of maybe; love is hard to find in the church of the poison mind, In the church of the poison mind. In the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. Watch me clinging to the beat. I had to fight to make it mine, That religion you could sink it neat. Just move your feet an' you'll feel fine. Who would be the fool to maybe Trick a kiss in time? Who am I to say that's crazy? Love will make you blind. . . In the church of the poison mind. In the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. Desolate loving in your eyes, you used and made my life so sweet. Step out like a God found child, I saw your eyes across the street. Who would be the fool to take you, be more that just kind? Step into a life of maybe; love is hard to find in the church of the poison mind, In the church of the poison mind. In the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. In the church of the poison mind. In the church of the poison mind. in the church of the poison mind. - Karma Chameleon
Letra
Desert loving in your eyes all the way. If I listen to your lies, Would you say I'm a man without conviction, I'm a man who doesn't know How to sell a contradiction? You come and go, you come and go. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon, You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams: Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green. Didn't you hear your wicked words ever'y day. And you used to be so sweet. I heard you say that my love was an addiction. When we cling, our love is strong. When you go, you're gone forever. You string along, you string along. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon, You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams: Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green. Ev'ry day is like survival. You're my lover, not my rival. Ev'ry day is like survival. You're my lover, not my rival. I'm a man without conviction I'm a man who doesn't know How to sale a contradiction? You come and go, you come and go. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon, You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams: Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green. Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon, You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams: Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green. - Victims
Letra
The victims we know so well They shine in your eyes When they kiss and tell Strange places we never see But you're always there Like a ghost in my dream And I keep on telling you Please don't do the things you do When you do those things Pull my puppet strings I have the strangest void for you We love and we never tell What places our hearts in the wishing well Love leads us into the stream And it's sink or swim Like it's always been And I keep on loving you It's the only thing to do When the angel sings There are greater things Can I give them all to you Pull the strings of emotion Take a ride into unknown pleasure Feel like a child on a dark night Wishing there was some kind of heaven I could be warm with you smiling Hold out your hand for a while The victims we know them so well... The victims we know so well They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell Strange places we never see But you're always there like a ghost in my dream And I keep on telling you Please don't do the things you do When you do those things, pull my puppet strings I have the strangest void for you Show my heart some devotion Push aside those that whisper never Feel like a child on a dark night Wishing there were some kind of heaven I could be warm with you smiling Hold out your hand for a while The victims we know them so well, so well... - Miss Me Blind
Letra
Miss me I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me blind I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me blind Bet you got a good gun Bet you know how To have some fun and then You turn it around on me Because I'm better than the rest of the men I say you'll miss me And you always do I say you'll miss me Now would I lie to you Now there's no need to demand Grab my golden hand I'll teach you and you'll never be sure If the way that you need Is too much like greed Decide if you are rich or you're poor I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me blind Bet you make the fool run Bet you know how To make it last forever But you know I'm never really sure If you're just kissing to be clever I say you'll miss me And you always do I say you'll miss me Now would I lie to you Now there's no need to demand Grab my golden hand I'll teach you and you'll never be sure If the way that you need Is too much like greed Decide if you are rich or you're poor Because the love That I have to give Must be better than that kind It can make you rich It can make you poor But I know that you'll miss me blind I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me I know you'll miss me blind - It's A Miracle

Letra
You sheltered me from harm, Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me, Set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew, Were all the years I had with you [Chorus] I would give anything I own, Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give anything I own, Just to have you back again You taught me how to laugh, What it solved, what it solved You never said too much, But still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know, The part of me that can't let go [Chorus] Is there someone you know, You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day, Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say [Chorus] Just to touch you once again - Sold
