THINK ABOUT IT
There’s a hole in the roof and it’s letting the water in
The paint is peeling and the ceiling is paper thin
There’s something living here but I’m the one paying rent
You don’t believe me let me tell you again
When everybody says you’re wrong
You gotta think about it (think about it)
Think about it (think about it)
When you’re the only one spinning your song
You gotta think about it (think about it)
Think about it (think about it)
If you believe that you’re gonna live twice
You gotta think about it (think about it)
Think about it (think about it)
When everybody’s sick of your lies
You gotta think about it
Think about it
Think about it
There’s a car in the drive but the kitchen is sitting on bricks
The room is turning black and making me physically sick
I’m trying to build a life but you just keep knocking it down
You don’t believe me let me tell you again

Make Your Mind Up
I’m like a loaded gun
So won’t you fire at will
You wipe the dirt from
your mouth, baby
Just like you’ve had your fill
Cos I’m waiting in line for you
I’m waiting in line for you
I just can’t make up my mind
So I break down instead
You mark a cross on my
heart now, baby
But then you aim for my head
Cos I’m waiting in line for you
I’m waiting in line for you
Waiting in line for you
Waiting in line for you
So won’t you make your mind up
Make your mind up
I feel the burn of the rope
I’m feeling each little thread
You think you’ve got me
restrained now, sugar
But you still lie in my bed
Because I’m waiting in line for you
I’m waiting in line for you
I’m waiting in line for you
Waiting in line for you
Only you
So won’t you make your mind up
Make your mind up

THE BOMB
You’re out on Monday night
But something ain’t quite right
Those black holes in your eyes
Betray the thoughts inside
That roll around your head
You’re like the living dead
You play the same old songs
Do you know what chord you’re on?
Say something. Or nothing
Don’t matter till you push the button
When you feel that the love is gone
You drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
You pull the heart right out of the sun
You drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
You’re living like a queen
Fur coat no knickers if you know
what I mean
Don’t know what’s in your drink
What your daddy tells you
I would think
You say we’re a despicable shower
As you sit up in your ivory tower
I know what’s in those pills
It’s the only thing that gives you a thrill
Or nothing
Don’t matter till you push the button
When you feel that the love is gone
You drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
You pull the heart right out of the sun
When you drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
Are you happy with the mess
you made?
When you dropped the bomb
Drop the bomb
Push the button now it’s gone
You drop the bomb
Drop the bomb
You drop the bomb

HELL, SAVE MY SOUL
There’s something about the way
There’s something about the way you look tonight
It’s pulling upon my heart
And other organs I cannot tell apart
But when you push your tongue in your cheek
I lose my concentration and
I cannot speak
I don’t know your name
I’m feeling the heat with every word you say
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down
There’s something about the way
There’s something about the way it feels tonight
We could start a war
An atomic love that leaves me wanting more
But when you wear your heart on your sleeve
I lose my inhibitions and
I cannot breathe
I don’t know your name
I’m feeling the heat with every word you say
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down
We’re going down
We’re going down
See me sink
Through solid ground
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down
Hell! Save my soul
Cos the world keeps bringing me down

Getting Away With It All

GETTING AWAY WITH IT
I’m driving along on this old dirty road
It’s so dark and I can hardly see
The rain is pouring down
Saturates the ground I see
And I’m sorry if you disagree
But you paid the price
And I’m sorry but I cannot bear to look at you twice
Yes I know
Yes I know
In the end it will all show
But I don’t care if it’s right ‘cos I’ve gotta say
You’re getting away with it all
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
You’re getting away with it all
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
You’re getting away with it all
I’m riding along on the crest of a wave
It’s so hot and I can hardly breathe
The sun is beating down
Breaks up all the ground I see
And I’m sorry if you disagree
But you paid the price
And I’m sorry but I cannot bear
to look at you twice
Yes I know
Yes I know
In the end it will all show
And I don’t care if it’s right but
I’ve gotta say
You’re getting away with it all
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
I don’t like it
You’re getting away with it all

Love Me
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you need me?
Cos I know that you feel it deep inside, side, side, side
I feel this endless burning
Tearing at my soul because of you
Because this endless yearning
Is breaking down the walls to get to you
You see that we’re still learning
But what exactly have you got to prove
Oh no
If I was in your shoes
I know that is exactly what I’d do
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you need me?
Cos I know that you feel it deep inside, side, side, side
Why won’t you kiss me
As I feel the lips that miss me
Fall upon my cheek just to the side, side, side of my face of my face
I ask for your permission
I don’t expect the bitching that you do
Control your premonition
It’s hard but that is what you’ve got to do
You see that we’re still learning
But what exactly have we got to prove
Woah no
If I was in your shoes
I know that is exactly what I’d do
Woah no
And I say keep on counting
Keep on counting
Keep on counting
On me
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you need me?
Why don’t you love me?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why won’t you kiss me?

CHANCY GARDNER
As long as the roots are good
As long as the roots are strong
People will get along
People will get along
Agree just to disagree
And united not divided we’ll be
Just take a walk with me
Just take a walk with me
Just take a walk with me
Cross the lake to the house and you’ll see
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden and with me
Wait for the summer and spring
And see all the good it will bring
The flowers will bloom for you
The flowers will bloom for you
I do not know what it means
I just like to watch TV
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden and with me
Don’t be so narrow-minded
Change the channel so you won’t be blinded
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden
All will be well in the garden and with me
And with me
And with me

SUNLIGHT
When the daylight slowly fades
into the black
I see you by my side
I see you by my side but you’re not there
You’re in my dreams
Not in my life
Every day I take a breath and think of you
And everything you do
But all the things you say leave me confused
You know I love you
Yes I do
Now the time has come
For me to say
For me to say
You put a little sunlight in my heart
Now the time has come
For me to say
For me to say
You put a little sunlight in my heart
I can hear your voice
And it’s calling me
Yes it’s calling me, yeah
You put a little sunlight in my
You put a little sunlight in my
You put a little sunlight in my heart

NOT THE ONLY ONE
When everything is said and done
You know I’m not the only one for you
I acted up you played the part
Is it time for us to start anew?
'Cos I don’t understand exactly what you want from me
It takes two hands to clap
Two hearts to beat the drum
Just a single moment in time
But you know I’m not the only one
One word to start
One more to load the gun
Just a single moment in time
But you know I’m not the only one
I’m hanging on the telephone
But all I get is the same tone with you
I call you up, you start a fight
Is it time we see the light anew?
Cos I don’t understand exactly what you want from me
It takes two hands to clap
Two hearts to beat the drum
Just a single moment in time
But you know I’m not the only one
One word to start
One more to load the gun
Just a single moment in time
But you know I’m not the only one
You know I’m not the only one
You know I’m not the only one
Just a single moment in time
You know I’m not the only one
You know I’m not the only one
Just a single moment in time
But you know I’m not the only one for you

YOU SAY
I don’t know just what to do
Cos all I have is thoughts of you
You danced around the living room
But now you’re gone much too soon
Woah
Cos you say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right
You held my face inside your hands
You were so weak
You couldn’t stand
Please just stay with me tonight
Your soul is strong
And you’ve got fight
You say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right
You say
Exactly what you want now
Exactly what you like
And everything’ll be all right
Love me
If only for an hour
If only for tonight
And everything’ll be all right
