[Greywind]

It is the night
My body is weak
I'm on the run
No time to speak

[Greywind]

Only a fool believes
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
But I don't wanna take that fall
It's a long long long way down

I'm hurt
Love struck me down again
Enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain I'm asking why
As I'm crying
Should I give it my last try
Or say goodbye

[tkdguy]

By the old Moulmein Pagoda

Looking eastward to the sea

There's a Burma girl a-setting

And I know she thinks of me.

 

Oh the wind is the palm trees

And the temple bells, they say,

Come you back, you British soldier.

Come you back to Mandalay.

Come you back to Mandalay...

 

Come you back to Mandalay

Where the old flotilla lay

Can't you hear the paddles chnking

From Rangoon to Mandalay?

 

On the road to Mandalay

Where the flying fishes play

And the dawn comes up like thunder

Over China, 'cross the bay!

[death tribble]

As I walk this land of broken dreams,
I have visions of many things.
But happiness is just an illusion,
Filled with sadness and confusion.

 

What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

[death tribble]

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

[death tribble]

Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be

Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still
Be here with me

[death tribble]

I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

[death tribble]

Don't know why
I'm survivin' every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears, so far, are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you uh-hoh

[death tribble]

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't want to be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live all by myself anymore

[death tribble]

I saw the lamp light from your window
I didn't think you were home, sitting there all alone
So I came up to your room to ask you why
Why did you hurt me so?
Why did you have to go away?

I never wanted anything in my life
Not until I met you
I thought you'd see me through
All the bad days that I've had before I met you
Something in the past, never thought it couldn't last forever

There's one thing I can say everyday
How I miss you, oh, oh

Everyday that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more than
Than I've ever been hurt before
Everyday that I'm without you
Hurts just a little bit more

[death tribble]

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.

And I would give anything I own.
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

[death tribble]

Oh, I just don't know where to begin
Love doesn't wait forever
It's now or never
But she keeps 'em hangin' on
You said you're so alone
She says she can't go home without a chaperon

Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
You used to be a victim now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen
They only hit and run
I don't want to hear it cause I know what I've done

[death tribble]

Now that you're gone,
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

 

You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon,
We stayed in separate rooms

[Cygnia]

She got it all, the boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in, smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold

I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy

There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye

She smiles for me, it don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown, I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne

I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy

There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I

How many days can you waste it, boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love we come to destroy

There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us though they might try

There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush, I'm on your side
It's just the two of us, you know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye

[death tribble]

Ooh...
Ooh...
How - how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you baby tonight

[death tribble]

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

[death tribble]

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection! (oh-oh)
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

[death tribble]

If I were to say to you, can you keep a secret
Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?
Then I say, "I love you", foul the situation
Hey girl, I thought we were the right combination

 

Who broke my heart, you did, you did
Bow to the target, blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart, stupid, stupid

 

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

 

No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums
Love on arrival, she comes when she comes
Right on the target but wide of the mark
What I thought was fire was only the spark

 

The sweetest melody is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights, yeah
But raise your aim, raise your aim

[death tribble]

All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts

And they're coming round the track to haunt me

When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts

I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely

 

Up from, suede shoes, my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

 

The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step

You were never fleet of foot, hippy

All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street

For the vision I have had is sweeping

 

New broom, this room, sweep it clean baby (hot dog!)

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

Sing out boy...

High kickin' dandy,

Fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah

Long legged candy,

Fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah yeah

[death tribble]

I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you
As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

How can it be that we can
Say so much without words?
Bless you and bless me
Bless the bees
And the birds
I've got to be near you
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way

It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less
Love is the best

[death tribble]

We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

 

We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

 

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

[death tribble]

I, I went off to the right
Without saying good goodbye
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?
Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah

Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring
La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love

[death tribble]

I have a picture pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all
Look at our life now, we're tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears and we cry until dawn

 

Hold me now, warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start, let loving start
Hold me now, warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start, let loving start

 

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world, we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here, yeah, yeah go far away
But you know that there's no where that I'd rather be
Than with you here today

 

Hold me now, warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start, let loving start
Hold me now, warm my heart
Stay with me, let loving start, let loving start

 

You ask if I love you, well what can I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore
And then I'll ask your forgiveness though I don't know
Just what I'm asking it for

 

Hold me now (in your lovin' arms), warm my heart (Oh my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (Come on and stay with me), let loving start, let loving start
Hold me now (in your lovin' arms), warm my heart (Oh my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me (come on and stay with me), let loving start, let loving start

[death tribble]

Are we happy are we scared ?

Are we shouting never heard ?

Are we running, running brave ?

Are we fighting, making waves ?

 

The first man he gets up and he says

"Well, can I have a say ?"

 

Singing

Men on fire pray for rain

Who are madmen, who is sane ?

 

So ten men they get up and they say

"Well, can we have a say ?"

Have we lost the spoken word ?

 

From the very very young to the very, very old

Everybody now say aye

From the centre of the earth to the corners of the globe

 

Everyone of you say aye

Nobody better let me down

Mother earth on the other side

 

Sing on

Are we happy, are we scared ?

Are we shouting, never heard ?

 

The first man he gets up and he says

"Well, can I have a say ?"

 

Cut of drama, power of sound

Are we progress, don't lose ground ?

 

Ten men they get up and they say

"Well, can we have a say ?"

Are we fighting, making waves ?

 

From the very very young to the very very old

Everybody now say aye

From the centre of the earth to the corners of the globe

Everyone of you say aye

Nobody better let me down

 

We will see on the other side, lean on me

Ah-li-ayo!

[Pariah]

Here at the bar, who cares what I do?

I'm all alone, but I'm drinking for two

Drowning the man that I used to be

Nobody loves you like me

 

I won't sign a thing, or else if I do,

I'll use a pencil, and that will show you

How nothing lasts, how nothing is free

Nobody loves you like me

 

I shouldn't stay, I think you'll agree

It's no good for you, no better for me

In the morning I'll go to a place far away

Somewhere you'll never find me

 

I catch a look, a thing that you say

Out on the fire escape smoking all day

Missing someone, now who could it be?

Nobody loves you like me

 

Noises outside, the trucks in the street

Will cover my flight, my hero's retreat

I'm supposed to feel bad, but I don't anymore

Only when you remind me

 

Air in my lungs, a cough and a wheeze

Holes in the bellows and blood on the keys

You'll move along, there's nothing to see

Nobody loves you like me

 

Nobody loves you like me
