- Missionary ManVer letra 4:40
[X]letra de Missionary Man
Well I was born an original sinner
I was borne from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin
My mother told me good
My mother told me strong
She said be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong
But there's just one thing
That you must understand
You can fool with your brother
But don't mess with a missionary man
Don't mess with a missionary man
Don't mess with a missionary man
Well the missionary man
He's got God on his side
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind
Black eyed looks from those Bible books
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree
The missionary man he was followin' me
He said stop what you're doing
Get down upon your knees
I've got a message for you that you better believe - Thorn In My SideVer letra 4:45
[X]letra de Thorn In My Side
You gave me such a bad time
Tried to hurt me, but now I know
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you ever were
A bundle of lies
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated
I was feeling low
Now every time I think of you
I shiver to the bone
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah
(Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah)
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run) - When Tomorrow ComesVer letra 4:28
[X]letra de When Tomorrow Comes
Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here
Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives
Another day - another night
Has taken you again my dear
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
Last night while you were
Lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world
Every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need
Someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea
When tomorrow comes - The Last TimeVer letra 4:10
[X]letra de The Last Time
Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain.
You were waiting at the station
For the last connecting train.
Well - who will you go to
When there's no-one to betray?
And I said - who will you go to
When your best friend turns away?
Hey hey...
Last time you're gonna let me down.
Last time you're gonna
Fool around with me...
There's a garden full of roses,
There's a necklace full of pearls.
You have come to take the roses
To give to other girls.
Well - I am just a pretty thing
You wanted for a day.
There is nothing left between us
There is nothing left to say...
Hey hey...
People like you
Can be so mean.
People like you
Just don't come clean.
(Chorus repeats...) - The Miracle Of LoveVer letra 5:04
[X]letra de The Miracle Of Love
How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That’s covering your mind?
I’ll show you something good
Oh I’ll show you something good
When you open your mind
You’ll discover the sign
That there’s something
You’re longing to find
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously –
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously
But I’ll show you something good
Oh I’ll show you something good
If you open your heart
You can make a new start
When your crumbling world falls apart
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle) - Let's Go!
- Take Your Pain AwayVer letra 4:30
[X]letra de Take Your Pain Away
If I could find a way
To soothe your troubled mind
Then I would erase your fears
And help you to unwind.
I would ease the burden
That you carry everyday.
Oh - don't you know I'd find a cure
And take your pain away.
Take your pain away
Take your pain away...
And even though you're far from here
Don't forget I'm always near.
Find comfort in these words I send
In this cold world.
Take your pain away
Take your pain away...
For every aching heart
For every broken soul...
So give up your worries
They'll only do you harm.
There is no need to be concerned
It's just a false alarm.
(Chorus repeats...) - A Little Of YouVer letra 3:53
[X]letra de A Little Of You
There used to be a time
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
There used to be a time
I'd show my gentle side to anyone
Through these years of wandering
I know I've been deceived.
Through these years of wandering...
And everytime you try to hurt me
You know you'll only hurt yourself.
And everytime you try to hurt me
I know you'll be the one to suffer
When you think you're hurting someone.
A little of you - a little of me -
A little of you -
Is hurting someone -
Don't tell me I'm the only one
'Cause I don't need that space.
Don't ask for love
I'll throw it back in your face.
All of these promises
Were only made to break.
All of these promises...
(Chorus repeats...) - In This TownVer letra 3:44
[X]letra de In This Town
I could be anywhere else but here
But the rain won't let me go.
There's a photograph
Hanging on my wall
Of a place I've never been to...
I'll never make the grade
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
And I can't stop the rain
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
What do the papers say?
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
Get up and go now!
In this town - something's gotta change.
In this town - something's gotta change.
I'm looking at the world -
Looking for a scene -
Waiting for a day -
Filling in time like I'm digging
My own grave...
I'll never make the grade
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
And I can't stop the rain
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
What do the papers say?
(Feels like Sunday everyday)
Get up and go now!
(Chorus repeats...) - I Remember YouVer letra 5:00
[X]letra de I Remember You
Well there's a colour picture
In my mind.
Of all the places
That I've left behind.
The broken windows
Where the wind blows through
Empty shells of houses
That have turned to ruin.
Oh - we were so young.
We didn't realise
Just what we'd done.
Oh - we were too young.
And I remember you.
You were the back yard boy.
Hiding in the wreckage
Of broken dreams.
Standing by the railway line.
Standing.
Oh - we were so young.
We didn't realise
Just what we'd done.
Oh - we were too young.
And all the sweetness
Has been taken out of this place.
So many memories
Are knocked down or replaced.
And I can't stand to see
The shifting time
Taking me further -
Leaving you behind.
