Animal Instinct
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
Promises
Uh...
You better belive I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me
Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke
Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do
What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cos tearing them out is just not right
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me, oh oh Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, Oh Eh
Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do
Ode To My Family
Understand the things I say.
Don't turn away from me.
'Cause I spent half my life out there.
You wouldn't disagree.
D'you see me, d'you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
D'you notice, d'you know?
Do you see me, do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn.
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother she hold me.
Did she hold me when I was out there?
My father, my father, he liked me,
Oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?
Understand what I've become.
It wasn't my design.
And people everywhere
Think something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss,
'Cause I liked it, I liked it When I was out there.
Do you know this, do you know?
You did not find me, you did not find.
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness, was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn.
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother she hold me.
Did she hold me when I was out there?
My father, my father, he liked me,
Oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?
I Can’t Be With You
Lying in my bed again
And I cry cause you're not here.
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear.
Put you hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
But it's bad and it's mad
And it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you.
Be with you (x6)
Baby I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were,
And on how we loved so well.
I wanted to be the mother of your child,
And now it's just farewell.
Put you hands in my hands
And come with me.
We'll find another end.
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder.
'Cause I can't be with you.
Be with you (x6)
Baby I can't be with you.
Cause you're not here.
You're not here.
Baby, I can't be with you.
'Cause you're not here.
You're not here.
Baby, still in love with you.
Twenty One
I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
You took my thoughts from me, Now I want nothing more.
And did you think you could just take it all away.
I don't think it's happening. This is what I say.
Leave me alone (x3) 'Cause I found it all Twenty-one (x3)
So I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
Twenty-one (x6) Today (x4) Twenty-one (x14)
Zombie
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence.
Who are we mistaken.
But you see it's not me,
It's not my family.
In your head, in your head
They are fighting.
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head they are cryin'.
In your head (x2) Zombie (x3)
What's in you head,
In your head? Zombie (x3)
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taken over.
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme
Since 1916.
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting.
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head
They are dying.
In your head (x2)
Zombie (x3)
What's in you head,
In your head?
Zombie (x3)
Empty
Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to.
Somebody caused me strife
And it's not what I was seeking.
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me?
Didn't you see me standing there.
Why did you turn out the lights?
Did you know that I was sleeping?
Say I prayer for me.
Help me to feel the strength I did.
My identity, Has it been taken?
Is my heart breakin'on me?
All my plans fell through my hands.
They fell through my hands on me.
All my dreams, It suddenly seems,
It suddenly seems empty...
Everything I Said
It makes me lonely.
It makes me very lonely,
When I see you here,
Waiting on.
He makes me tired.
He makes me very tired.
And inside of me,
Lingers on.
But you have your heart.
Don't believe it,
And you will find it
Waiting on.
Everything I said, oh,
Well I meant it.
And inside my head,
Holding on.
'Cause if I died tonight
Would you hold my hand, oh,
Would you understand.
And if I lied in spite
Would you still be here, no,
Would you disappear?
Surely must be you,
Surely must be you,
But I don't make you lonely.
I'll get over you,
I'll get over you,
But I don't make you lonely.
The Icicle Melts
When, when will the icicle melt?
(The icicle, icicle)
And when, when will the picture show end?
(The picture show, picture show
I should not have read the paper today.
'Cause a child, child, child, child, he was taken away.
(Taken away)
There's a place for the baby that died.
And there's a time for the mother who cried.
And she will hold him in her arms sometime.
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long.
How, how could you hurt a child?
How could you hurt a child?
Now does this make you satisfied,
Satisfied, satisfied?
I don't know what's happening to people today.
When I child, child, child, child, he was taken away.

Disappointment
Disappointment,
Oh, you shouldn't have done,
You couldn't have done,
You wouldn't the things you did then.
And I could have been happy.
What a piteous thing,
A hideous thing,
Was tainted by the rest.
But it won't get any harder.
And I hope you'll find your way again.
And it won't get any higher.
And it all boils down to what you did then.
In the night we fight.
I fled, you're right.
It was exactly then.
Tt was exactly then.
I decided, decided, decided, decide.
Oh, and threw you out.
In the night we fight.

Yeat’s Grave
Silence by death in the grave.
William Butler Yeats couldn't save.
Why did you stand here?
Were you sickened in time?
But I know by now,
Why did you sit here in the grave?
In the grave.In the grave.In the grave.
"Why should I blame her,
That she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late, Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great, Had they but courage
Equal to desire."
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay,
But she had Mac Bride anyway.
And you sit here with me
On the island that's free
And you're writing down everything.
But I know by now,
Why did you sit here in the grave?
In the grave.
In the grave.
In the grave.
"Why should I blame her,
Had they but courage equal to desire."
William Butler...
Daffodil Lament
Holding on, that's what I do
Since I met you.
And it won't be long.
Would you notice
If I left you.
And it's fine for some.
'Cause you're not the one,
You're not the one
There...
All night long
I laid on my pillow.
These things are wrong.
I can't sleep here.
So lovely (x3)
I have decided to leave you forever.
I have decided to start things from here.
Thunder and lightning won't change what I'm feeling.
And the daffodils look lovely today.
And the daffodils look lovely today, look lovely today.
Oh, in your eyes and can see the disguise.
Oh, in your eyes and can see the dismay.
Has anyone seen lightning.
Has anyone looked lovely.
And the daffodils look lovely today...
No Need To Argue
There's no need to argue anymore.
I gave all I could, but it left me so sore.
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had.
I knew, I knew I'd lose you.
You'll always be special to me, special to me, to me.
And I remember all the things we once shared.
Watching TV movies on the living room armchair.
But they say it will work out fine.
Was it all a waste of time?
'Cause I knew, I knew I'd lose you.
You'll always be special to me, special to me, to me.
Will I forget in time, ah.
You said I was on your mind.
There's no need to argue,
No need to argue anymore.
There's no need to argue anymore.
Ooooh....
(Special)
