letra de Lessons In Love
I'm not proud, I was wrong

And the truth is hard to take

I felt sure we had enough

But our love went overboard

Lifeboat lies lost at sea

I've been trying to reach your shore

Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building

We never fulfilled them

Could be better, should be better

For lessons in love

For restless eyes, egos burn

And the mold is hard to break

Now we've waded in too deep

And love is overboard

Heavy hearts, token words

All the hopes I ever had

Fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building

We never lived in

Could be better, should be better

Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

The future will ignore us

We should use it, we could use it, yeah

Lessons in love

Lost without love

Lessons in love

When will you ever learn

Lessons in love

When there's nowhere left to turn

Lessons in love

Don't let your spirit burn

Lessons in love

I'll wait 'till you return

All the dreams that we were building

We never lived them

We should use it, we could use it, yeah

For lessons in love

All the homes that we were building

we never lived in

Could be better, should be better

Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us

The future will ignore us

We should use it, we could use it, yeah

Lessons in love

letra de Children Say
I keep to myself

what I might share with others

but they don't seem to understand

I open my mouth

to rediscover

that I don't have the words at my command

holding out

for a world so much better

but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land

all my friends have sold out

couldn't handle the pressure

counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can

Children say - children say

we open our minds as one

but one more day - slips away

why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

When I overhear

my parents conversations

well I'm struck by the things they say

it seems they traded the years

for mere complications

who ever thought it could end this way

they close the door

but they can't lock it

'cause something of their childhood remains

and they've felt it before

when the man in their pocket

counted the cost of their material gains

Children say - come what may

be strong for the friends you've known

but one fine day - (not) far away

will we remember the love we used to own

Children say - children say

we open our minds as one

as one more day slips away

why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

Well you knew what I was saying

but did you know what it meant

when you saw that look in my eye

did you know it was heaven sent

was it all a waking dream

all that time we must have spent

well I guess it must have been

somehow that feeling came and went

Children say - come what may

be strong for the friends you've known

but one fine day - (not) far away

will we remember the love we used to own

Children say - children say

we open our minds as one

as one more day - slips away

why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

Children say - children say

we thought it would never go

as one more day - slips away

who ever thought we could be so lonely

letra de Running In The Family
Our dad would send us to our room

He'd be the voice of doom

He said that we would thank him later

All day, he was solid as a rock

But by eight o'clock

We'd be crumbling

One night, my brother Joe and me

Climbed down the family tree

That grew outside our bedroom window

We ran, though we knew it couldn't last

Running from the past

From things that we were born to be

Looking back, it's so bizarre

It runs in the family

All the things we are

On the back seat of the car

With Joseph and Emily

We only see so far

And we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back, it's so bizarre

Dad rang the officer in charge

A man so large

He barely fit his circumstances

He said two kids out on the street

Were picked up on the beat

And in the station

So there's me, with Emily and Joe

Daddy driving home

All heading in the same direction

He knew, no matter what the breaks

We'd make the same mistakes

Couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me

Looking back, it's so bizarre

It runs in the family

All the things we are

On the back seat of the car

With Joseph and Emily

We only see so far

And we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back, it's so bizarre

It runs in the family

All the things we are

Looking back, it's so bizarre

Like a dream within a dream

We're all somewhere in between

Like a drummer plays his drum

Like a father, like a son

And your gonna have to face the music, oh yeah

Face the music

Hey hey, we keep it running in the family

Hey hey, we keep it coming in the family

Looking back, it's so bizarre

It runs in the family

All the things we are

On the back seat of the car

With Joseph and Emily

We only see so far

'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah

Running in the family

Running in the family

And we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back, it's so bizarre, whoa yeah

To Be With You AgainVer letra 5:19

letra de To Be With You Again
I've been making moves in chains

Wrapped around my hollow heart the thought of you remains

I can't replace your face no matter how I try

And in the night I cry from wanting you

You know I thought I could not lose

America was calling me you said I must choose

Between a life of love or visions that will fade

And now the choice is made I'm so lonely

Can you feel me reaching out to you?

I'm so lonely, are you lonely too?

I would give anything to make you understand

That I would go anywhere to be with you again

Heaven help me if you can

I remember better days, now I understand

You can't buy happiness, love is not for sale

The night is turning pale and I'm needing you

I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay)

Empty ears aren't listening

To one word I say (time to play)

The dream became a big machine out of control

And here inside my soul, I'm so lonely

Where are you now when I need you so?

I'm so lonely, I need you to know

I would give anything to make you understand

And I would go anywhere to be with you again

I was standing in the rain

I need to be with you again, yeah, baby

Can you feel me reaching out to you?

I'm so lonely, are you lonely too?

Where are you now, now I need you so?

I'm so lonely, I need you to know

I would give anything to make you understand

And I would go anywhere to be with you again, be with you again

Two SolitudesVer letra 5:37

[X]
letra de Two Solitudes
I saw the longing in your eyes

But I failed to see the anguish you so cleverly disguised

Your needs I clearly read

But I never knew your true intentions they were better left unsaid

I brushed our tears aside

Thought I could wipe away the memory

But couldn't push that far inside

You came so full of regrets

Your body still remembers

What your mind learnt to forget

Love is lost I've found

When trust breaks down

Now we meet those two imposters just the same

Always out of bounds

When love comes round

Don't even have the strength to share the blame

We ride the train of events

We never make our destination never making any sense

You say you leave without regret

But your body will remember what your mind learns to forget

One love, two solitudes

There's no common ground

When trust breaks down

Thought everybody's love is in the air

Always out of bounds

When love comes down

Too scared to climb the wall of our despair

Love is lust I've found

When trust breaks down

Now we meet those two imposters just the same

Always out of bounds

When love comes round

Don't even have the strength to share the blame

And the sad thing is

There's no end to this

Your tears are like the rain that beats the rain

And I wake at dawn

To find you gone

Don't even have strength to call you name

[repeat chorus 2]

[repeat chorus 1]

letra de Fashion Fever
Fashion fever

forever brand new

always out of date

fashion fever

it's all about you

tomorrow is too late

and when the fever fakes the feel

you must be sure of your appeal

Fashion fever

forever brand new

always out of date

fashion fever

it's all about you

you'll be too late if you hesitate

I see you live behind that smile

with cold blue baby eyes

you cut me up with razor style

dancing in disguise (dancing in disguise)

you chance your face to suit your hair

look into the mirror again

and I'll be there

forever laughing

watching as you play

fashion fever

forever dancing

there's no time to sway yeah

and when the fever starts to fade

you know you may have gone too far

and what is left is anyone's guess

no one knows who you are

Don't scratch me with your tiger mind

and freaky fantasies

you say you can't be satisfied

well I'm sure you never will (sure you never will)

you look en vogue

to seek the scene

try turning all the pages again

and I'll be there

forever laughing

watching as you play

fashion fever

forever dancing

there's no time to sway

fashion fever

forever brand new

always out of date

fashion fever

it's all about you

tomorrow is too late, yeah

Dur danga dong

dur danga dong

The SleepwalkersVer letra 6:02

letra de The Sleepwalkers
I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car

even on a cloudy day

she always says "Man!, who d'you think you are?"

'cause she don't see it my way

we are all sleepwalkers

we only see the things we wanna see

tunnel visions

and there's no end in sight

But after all we've been through

I know this much to be true

though I don't think like you do

don't you know that after all

all I really need is you

I have a game plan, but my love is in a jar

it don't come into play

she always says "Man!, no matter where we are,

you're always miles away!"

we are all sleepwalkers

we don't see nothing we don't wanna see

we dream in color

we paint each other black and white

Let's take one step at a time (at a time)

let's take each day as we find (as we find)

give me the chance to speak my mind

don't you know that after all

that's all I really need to cross that line

We give - the impression that all is well

trying to live - all of the lies we tell

we cry - when there's no one near

we don't know why - there just ain't enough love

in these alien years

I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car

on a cloudy day

the wheel in one hand, the other on my heart

I'm trying to see it her way

though we are all sleepwalkers

we only see the things we wanna see

I get the feeling

maybe there's an end in sight

letra de Freedom Someday
I'm not chasing miracles

I don't want no sympathy

I'm waiting for the world

to keep me company

thinking 'bout the universe

trying to keep my fears at bay

and all I'm hoping for

is for someone else to want to say

Freedom someday - are you ready to make the deal

freedom someday - freedom to live for real

I don't want no money

but buddy, can you spare the time of day

'cause silence is, I'm sure

the highest price we pay

I don't wish my troubles on anyone

but I can wish them well

so I'm knocking on your door

'cause there's something I would like to say

Freedom someday - I'm ready to make the deal

freedom someday - freedom to live for real

Somehow life goes on

but when it's said and done

it's such a bitter pill

when you think the battle's won

you hear the distant guns

of all those fighting still

the battle's in our heads

one we alway lose

whichever side we choose

we can paint the planet red

or black and blue instead

but we are one world

I'm not chasing miracles

but I don't choose to be this way

now all I'm hoping for

is for someone else to hear me say

And if our time has come

and if our race is run

who will pay the bill

when you think the battle's won

you hear the distant guns

of all those fighting still

but the battle's in our heads

one we always lose

whichever side we choose

paint the planet red

or black and blue instead

but we are one world
