LITTLE THOUGHTS
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking try to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly, slowly down
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking try to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly
Down!
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask me
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back, back, back…

This world ain't just made of facts
Every half hour is a countdown
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward
I haven't got the guts to stand alone
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask me
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask
I'll go back (I'll go back)
If you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back, back, back…

TULIPS
When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you
This could be an opportunity
This could be an opportunity
Were you unawares?
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in right from the start?
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you
This could be an opportunity
This could be an opportunity
If you promise to let it
If you promise to let it grow
If you promise to let it
If you promise to let it grow
'Cause you're the one I love
'Cause you're the one I love
'Cause you're the one I love
'Cause you're the one I love
STORM AND STRESS
Promise you'll say if it gets
Promise you'll say if it gets too much
Don't be so scared of corners
Don't be so tired of this life
Of this life
Of this life
Of this life
You drink to laugh
You drink to cry
You wear me in
You wear me
You really suffer for it
You really suffer for your art
Don't be a martyr for it
Don't be a martyr for the cause
Your eyes tell it
Your eyes tell it
Your eyes tell it
Your eyes tell the truth
You drink to laugh
You drink to cry
You wear me in
You wear me
You're not always
You're not always right
You're not always
You're not always right
You're not always right
(A new fight for a last rite)
(A new fight for a last rite)
(You can fight a new fight)
(You can fight it's alright)
You're the life of the party
You're the life of the party
You're the life of the party
You make my world spin around
(A new fight for a last rite)
(A new fight for a last rite)
(You can fight a new fight)
(You can fight it's alright)
(A new fight for a last rite)
(A new fight for a last rite)
(The first time is the next time)
(The next time is the last time)
(And this time is the last time)
(And this time is the last time)
(Cos I will always fight)
You're not always right
You're not always right
You're not always right
You're not always right
HELICOPTER
North to south
Empty
Running on
Bravado
As if to say, as if to say
As if to say he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different
Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
He's gonna save the world
He's gonna...
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Three out of five, three out of five
(It's not enough)
Six out of ten
Better luck next time
Just like his dad, just like his dad
(The same mistakes)
Some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb
(So wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault
(Just this once)
They're getting so much younger
Why can't you be more European?
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
Are you hoping for a miracle?
(It's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle?
(It's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle?
(It's not enough)
Are you hoping for a miracle?
(It's not enough)
SKELETON
All my thoughts are of ice
All my thoughts are of ice
All my bones are so tired
All my bones are so tired
So young and so handsome
So easily led
They told me to wait
They said
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun
And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire
What should I have said?
What should I have done?
The horses are here
The damage is done
So just take off your shirt
And just take off your dress
We can go dancing
On a Saturday
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun out of me
You take the fun
And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
I'm just a skeleton
