Different dreams inside suspicions
Murky days and bad wishes stung her heart
Nothing wasted on the tissues
Nothing spared from other issues
But it shows
She has wept her full endearment
She has spent herself on caring
And she should
Can I make this all seem normal?
Can I make myself be closer to her heart?
'Cos...
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
And I haven't even started crying
You were once my heart
I was talking to her Monday
Caught her looking at a weirdo
That was me
I couldn't talk a little bit
My tongue tied up in knots
Should that be?
Be I have run this ground before me
I have tried and she's ignored me
Now I don't care
But that's a lie and I will warm you now
Trust yourself in matters of the heart
'Cos...
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
And I haven't even started crying
You were once my heart
Do you know if we care?
Does it show if we're shy?
Do we believe in the night?
Do we lie under the lights?
'Cos...
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
And I haven't even started crying
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
You're my lady, my lady now
And I haven't even started crying 
[Lyrics]
I've swept up after Gods and dreams
Silent light a windless nightmare
Only easing through with time
The lost and unfamiliar valentine
Standing on her own
With a rage within, but rarely seldom ever shows
Like a kiss stung on the wind
______ ______ not of thought to save, much less to win
Don't suffer in silence, don't suffer in
silence
Don't suffer in silence, don't suffer in silence

You've seen the sun kissed parts of the
moon
Seen the sky fall down at noon
Known the trampling of tears
Seen faith disappear
Known the shotgun blast
Seen the man then crying, dying,
And lying in the blood
When the bombs start pounding
Will you know enough to fear?
Don't bomb at all
Don't battle for them
Fight no more
Don't politicise
Don't criticise
Those who don't talk of war
Don't be bitter 'cos you have a chance to make a difference
In the air you hear you hear screeching
It's an echo of the fight
There's a tension in the air
An echo of despair
There's no fashion boarded princesses here
No joyful loving
Lovely lovers
No compromise
Hypnotised
Don't bomb at all
Don't battle for them
Fight no more
Don't politicise
Don't criticise
Those who don't talk of war
Don't be bitter 'cos you have a chance to make a difference
And the army's here
Up there and everywhere
Nothing left to do at all
So we all sit home and change the channel
While we change our name
And the bitterness returns
We'll turn off the TV
Close the paper
Ignore the news
Try to sleep through torment and abuse
Try to find something that makes everything worthwhile
Try to close our eyes and nobelise
And dignify and ratify our lives
But that's the way today
There's no reaction anyway
Don't bomb at all
Don't battle for them
Fight no more
Don't politicise
Don't criticise
Those who don't talk of war
Don't be bitter 'cos you have a chance to make a difference
Make a difference, make a difference
Screaming out, take me home
Screaming out, take me home
[Lyrics]
Somebody will sort you out,
I won't give it up,
I will give your love a shot,
Somebody else in here told me how to feel,
Picks me up each time I miss your meaning
And its the same room
We're living in
It's the thought that keeps us down
And round picking up time honoured bad reasons not to take a hold of it,
Every time you lose control
Every time you cannot cope
Come and offer up the hope that everything gets better
Somebody will sort you out,
I won't give it up,
I will give your love a shot,
Somebody else in here told me how to feel,
Picks me up each time I miss your meaning
And it's the same room
We're living in
I can't hope to wear your skin
While your off trying to turn yourself into someone who's just a stranger to
me
Every time you lose control
Every time you cannot cope
Come and offer up the hope that everything gets better
Every time you lose control
Every time you cannot cope
Come and offer up the hope that everything gets better
And it's the same room
We're living in
It's the thought that keeps us down
And round picking up time honoured bad reasons not to take a hold of it,
Every time you lose control
Every time you cannot go?
Come and offer up the hope that everything gets better
Every time you lose control
Every time you cannot fold?
Come and offer up the hope that everything gets better
[Lyrics]
When you cried, you were lost; you fell
asleep, when you dreamed you believed.
When you lied, you only lied on to yourself, when you died you could see.
I never cried, the way you did, I didn't like it when you yelled.
I never felt, the way you felt, I didn't like it when you prayed.
I thought you fooled yourself.
When you were shy you got drunk,
When you were drunk you were a fool,
When you were a fool you fell apart,
When you fell apart you picked yourself up again, didn't you?
This ain't a lesson ‘fore you die it's
just a game you've got to play,
It's just a lie you've got to live,
It's just a smile you've got to fake,
So you're controllable and it helps you not to breathe.
This is a crime you have to give to try to save your soul.
This is lesson, not a rule,
It wasn't easy when the penny dropped inside your head, but now you know the
joke, You tell it to your friends & they're all;
When you were shy you got drunk,
When you were drunk you were a fool,
When you were a fool you fell apart,
When you fell apart you picked yourself up again, didn't you?
When you were told you wouldn't buy it,
When you are old you will regret it,
When you were bad you tried to hide it
When you were mad you just broke it
When you were laughing you were dry
When you were crying, you were high,
Every escape is just a lie, every escape is just a lie
Every escape is just a lie, every escape is just a lie
When you were shy you got drunk,
When you were drunk you were a fool,
When you were a fool you fell apart,
When you fell apart you built yourself up again, didn't you?
Baby likes wearing make-up
Baby likes getting her hair done
Baby likes wearing high-heel shoes
She seems to like being abused
Baby likes being the centre of attention
Baby go out eight nights a week if she could
Baby likes being emotional in public
It's just the way she needs to be
I'd like to get you out of my head
I'd like to get you out of my head
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's all lies, all lies
Speak to us and patronise us
So we try to speak of and eulogise
I'm bored today but I realise
That I'm over you
I'm sleeping insane over you
Sleeping insane
Baby reads the social sections
Baby watches way to much MTV for me
Baby likes a force of nature
Breaking up all over me
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's nice to get you out of my head
It's all lies, all lies
Speak to us and patronise us
So we try to speak of and eulogise
I'm bored today but I realise
That I'm over you
I'm sleeping insane over you
Sleeping insane
Over you, sleeping insane
Hand in hand we descend to the graveyard
You're oblivious and I'm duplicitous
I feel every moment is weighted, delayed gratification
Of where we start to begin the ending
And all my turbulent thoughts only serve
To make me that much more aware
Of the fact that I'm on the bus
Heading out of town and you're on a trail of real ____ there
And I don't know how I managed to ruin
Everything I lay my hands upon
Is it a disease or am I just impossible to please?
I've got a feeling I'm uneasy
I'm tired of never feeling satisfied
I'd like to move outside and blast off
But I'm in a funk and you'd never know it
I don't know what side I want buttered
And I'm sick to the teeth of mediocrity
Especially my own, it's suffocating me
And I'm like a spare part, I've got my uses
I've got my belief but no clue
And I don't know how I managed to ruin
Everything I lay my hands upon
Is it a disease or am I just impossible to please?
I've got a feeling I'm uneasy
Rhyme and reason, cause and effect,
In my head girl, what comes next?
Rhyme and reason, cause and effect,
In my head girl, what comes next?
[Lyrics]
Although I could have cried, but nobody died
And I'm sorry I've been such a waste of your time
I touch my fingers to your cheek
I'd kiss your side while you sleeping
And I wonder how life got so complicated?
Don't be mad at me, baby
Don't expect me to be safe
'Cos I'm bound to disappoint you
But it's you
Do you know why I mean, type of, kind of thing
Basically I believe that I need to be
free
And I couldn't be wrong but I think I'm
right
I think if I believe I'm right
I might not, but at least I won't wonder
Don't rely on me, baby
Don't expect me to be safe
'Cos I'm bound to disappoint you
Don't be mad at me, baby
Don't expect me to be your saviour
'Cos I'm bound to disappoint you
All Natural
