For The Millionth Time For the millionth time will you stop exaggerating For the millionth time will you please stop telling me lies Since I met you I have let you rule my life Cos when you lie you really lie I can't stand any more of your lies across the table I can't take any more of your smiles when you know what you've done I'm not hard done by But I've not come by one like you Cos when you cry you really cry. And now's the time to put things right I know I must And I will try to put things straight and at all cost For the millionth time will you stop exaggerating I won't say it again cos it really winds me up Let's forget it Let's just let it die a death Cos when you lie you really lie

No Stone Unturned Dragging my heels cos I'm tired of walking You know how it feels when you ain't stopped talking too Am I getting through? Looking for space in a vacant corner Fill it with traces of hurt I'm warning you Am I getting through? Hanging around on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned Telling you tales of the unexpected Breathing in life to the much neglected true Am I getting through? I'm hanging around on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned Looking through a blinkered eye Was the only way of getting by Now I see it's just a sham I don't like it but it's how I am So maybe I'm on the lookout again for something I've never been And maybe I feel the need to explain something that I've never seen One day I'll find you and you'll smile at me And then I'll know that you're feeling happy too Am I getting through? 'Til then I'll be on high street corners Making sure I have left no stone Until then I'll be on high street corners Making sure I have left No stone unturned.

I Can't Stand Mirrors (And I'm Scared Of Heights) The girl said "Boy, take a long, hard look at yourself" The girl said "Boy, now this might not be too good for your health" The girl said "Boy, tell me what you're doin' down on the floor" The girl said "Boy, well you know this ain't enough, I want more" Somehow to the boy this just didn't seem right He said "I can't stand mirrors and I'm scared of heights" The boy said "Girl, come on now I'm gonna take you with me" The boy said "Girl, my reflection ain't all you're gonna see" The boy said "Girl, we don't have to do it here on the floor" The boy said "Girl, you know I just can't get enough, I want more" "I'm gonna give you somethin' so wrong, it's so right" She said "I can't stand mirrors and I'm scared of heights"

Wish Away The Moon By the time it takes to seize hold Of the early morning breeze she'll rise A moment come and gone  Until the setting of the sun is in her eyes Wish away the moon  Take a chance and pretty soon you'll fall Waiting for the sound Of the footsteps on the ground she cries And while the clock alarm Does it's rise and shining harm she nearly dies Wish away the moon Take a chance and pretty soon  She just keeps her eyes on The beautiful horizon he'll Kiss away her tears But there's a price to pay and here's the deal Just wish away the moon Take a chance and pretty soon you'll fall

Probably Normal When everything's normal and everything's fine I can look into your eyes you can look into mine But when everything's crazy and everything's bad I can't even remember the fun that we had When it feels like a long night even during the day And the feeling of not right wont go away And I'm breaking my own heart, nothing else I can do All I need is a head start to get closer to you Is it me or did the world just seem to change? Is it you or did I hurt myself again? I'm probably normal when I close my eyes I'm probably normal when I hear your sighs I'm probably normal when I tell those lies Is it me or did the world just seem to change? Is it you or I hurt myself again? I'm probably normal when I close my eyes I'm probably normal when I hear your sighs I'm probably normal when I tell those lies

Girl From The Neck Down I don't believe in no tearful goodbyes I'll get along cos I've never been shy Say what you want but just don't ask me why And don't get too attached, I've got a plan I think less like a girl, more like a man This girl from the next town's A girl from the neck down I do like, I do, like I do Wont take me long to get you on my side I'll prove you wrong, take it all in my stride Make sure you enter with eyes open wide You met your match and got your fingers burned I made it clear and now I think you've learned This girl from etc.... ------Break------- Playing it cool, see it's harder to do Don't try to fool me I'm smarter than you You're one of the many not one of the few I'll teach you what it's like to never win You can take me out but I won't let you in

Got Any Mantras? At the foot of the hill there's an ashram gate Where you can be still in an altered state And chattering monkeys make their way to your side You want to be a Flower Child The smell of that incense drives you wild Got Any Mantras? Got Any Mantras? Got Any Mantras?-Yeah! Your body's a temple, your mind's the key Your eyes are the windows through which you see Your soul is the caged white dove that wants to be free You want to know if God forgives But you don't even know where Jesus lives Got Any Mantras? Got Any Mantras? Got Any Mantras? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! The road to enlightenment is long So take only what is sent along Don't litter the cosmic highway-keep it with you And as you find you start to soar angelic Take another piece of psychedelic

Big Screen 03:39
Big Screen Tomorrow may not be the day You'll hear me say let's fly away But I hope it is A better life is far behind These narrow streets and cobbled minds Well I hope it is Why does this self defense seem like attack? How many paces forward take me back- again? I've been looking at the Big Screen all my life While they're looking at the Big Screen every night I've been looking at the Big Screen all my life I've been looking at the Big Screen. Tomorrow night the boys go out To large it up and lark about Like they always do The girls reserve their right to sup Like men they pale then throw it up Cos they wanted to Many's the time I've watched this play unfold Many's the time I've thought they should be told- again I've been looking at the Big Screen all my life While they're looking at the Big Screen every night I've been looking at the Big Screen all my life I've been looking at the Big Screen.

Look Back And Laugh Mama told me it'll be alright and things will go my way Mama told me I would sail through life, I wouldn't have to waste a day I thought of mama and I took her advice Taking it for granted things would turn out right I looked after no one else but number one I honestly thought in many years to come I'm gonna look back and laugh at what I just done Took me a while to realise that things weren't going right He wasn't my style but I met this boy and then I took him home every night I thought of mama and I took her advice Taking it for granted things would turn out nice I looked after no one else but number one I honestly thought in many years to come I'm gonna look back and laugh at what I just done I never realised the sun don't always shine And I never realised that livin' was a crime But I do now and I don't like what I see....I don't like it! Now I'm a lot older and I lost that boy cos he wouldn't put up with me I wish I'd been told a long time ago and so to save all this misery I think of mama and I'll take her advice Taking it for granted things will turn out nice I look after no one else but number one I honestly thought in many years to come I'm gonna look back and laugh at what I just done.

I Can't Stop The Rain I used to be a victim, I'm not anymore I learned to leave it all far behind The weight upon my shoulders has gone But there's more on my mind I used to sit and think about what I'd never be And hate myself for doing it wrong But now I've woken up to just how pointless It's been for so long And I can't stop the rain I can't stop the rain You know it's useless to complain I know I'll never stop the rain -Break- I gathered all my hang ups and put them away And left them all alone with my youth The only thing I need at the end of the day is the truth And I can't stop the rain I can't stop the rain You know it's useless to complain I know I'll never stop I'll never stop I'm never gonna stop the rain.....

It's Not Your Heartbreak You say you understand- but it's not your heartbreak You say you'll lend a hand - is that for mine or for your sake? I wish for a day you could feel the same way as I do And then you would know why I can't let you go And the look on your face makes me cry like a baby You say you tell the truth- but I know you're lying I've given up on you- so why do I keep on trying? I've been meaning to say that I can't get away from this mood And try as I might I just can't sleep at night And this vague paranoia is all I got for ya!

Got My Eyes On The Prize Got my eyes on the prize and it's you Got my eyes on the prize and it's you How do I begin to say how I feel Now we have to kiss goodbye? Staring at the road ahead is unreal I'll be low while you get high How do I pretend that I'll be alright Knowing that I never will? Make this living end my only respite From the loneliness I feel Since you went away and caught your freedom flight And I've been left alone at night All I got to do is say I'll die before I find another you I'll die before I find another you I'll die before I find another you But in the meantime.... Got my eyes on the prize and it's you Got my eyes on the prize and it's you When do all the good times come back again? I just cant believe they're dead Looking out for signs, the where and the when Blame it on the things I said Tell me that you don't have any regrets Tell me that you're not unsure Tell me you don't find it hard to forget I'm not the one you're living for Since you went away and caught your freedom flight And I've been left alone at night All I got to do is say I'll die before I find another you I'll die before I find another you I'll die before I find another you But in the meantime....
