Consent

I would give anything just to be with you
Give you the dreams I'm having, just to be with you
Somebody said I needed your consent
That's what I'm working on
Your consent
Is that so wrong?

Give you the stars from heaven,
If you give me a sign
My body in your body, time is a friend of mine
I guess I need your consent
That's what I'm working on
Your consent
Is that so wrong?

Why you wanna spend your time with some player mother fucker Baby you were born to be free
Why you wanna sell yourself like some rich man's toy
Is that what you're suppose to be?
Some day you're gonna to wake up
Crying through your makeup
And wish that you were here with me, with me

And when I have it baby, I'm gonna to treat you right
Love you in the daytime, make it right through the night

Your consent, your consent, your consent
It's gonna be alright

Don't sell yourself now honey
Don't sell yourself now honey

Static In The Flow

Do you feel safe, here in my arms?
There's so much more to this than just being here
And time won't erase, the way that you feel
The search for something new
Is that what you fear?

It's gonna show, the static in the flow (2x) Uh-huh
You scratched the itch, and now it's sore
I know you liked it, and you'll scratch some more
It's gonna show, the static in the flow (2x) Uh-huh
What you hidin' from? (3x)

In your heart you're good Maybe he doesn't treat you right
It's gonna get harder
To make it right through the night, yeah
It's gonna show, the static in the flow (3x) Uh-huh, uh-huh
The static in the flow

What you hidin' from? (5x)

There Is A Light

It's getting late and soon you will be underground
Searching for something, something that you've never found
Alone on an ocean
Alone in a sea of regret
You look for a sign to tell you if it's over yet

But there is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light

The truth has been stretched and left to dry out in the sun
And the memories feel like an old piece of black chewing gum
As innocence slowly seeps its way out of your pores
It's hard to know just what to feel any more

But there is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light

Freedom is useless to someone who's never been free
And a church full of angels point to where you want to be
High up in your heaven happiness opens its wings
And beats them in time to the rhythm of silence

There is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light

Strangest Things

She went in and bought some bullets But she didn't have a gun There was a time when time was never ending But that time is long gone And the strangest things are gonna knock you down Wasn't any one man seemed to do it Just a series of losers on a losin' streak She smoked a cigarette, slipped on her leather jacket And left town singin' "Life's so bittersweet." And the strangest things are gonna knock you down The strangest things are gonna pick you up again You can only get so far before you reach the ocean Where do you go from there You can't go back, now you've set the wheels in motion Dark clouds on the horizon Rain's good for leather anyway She dreamt that night she could walk on water And she just walked away And the strangest things are gonna knock you down The strangest things are gonna pick you up again Strangest things

In Seville

I watch you dance in the half-light of an Andalucian moon How does it feel to be outside your own life in a world that moves you? If there's a chance we should take it We should move now while we can They say a life is a moment Well, I'm not afraid tonight Sometimes I think I'm runnin' but I...I'm just standing still My time, my time is coming, and I believe that yours will Are you afraid where you are now? Would you stay here on your own? I watch the light creep across your face I feel your beauty now I feel your grace And sometimes I think that I'm runnin' but I...I'm just standing still My time, my time is coming, and I believe that yours will (2x) En Sevilla En Sevilla Yeah I believe your time is coming

People Still Believing

You say you're one of the people But the people get you down Askin' too many questions You don't like them comin' around All of the spirit voices Workin' hard while you sleep sound What's the point of living If you're not forgiving What's the point of being here? People still believin' in love, oh love Yeah, people still believin', in love, oh love They took Punky(?) out of his home And they shot him in the street Now they made him a hero But his kids still cannot eat What's the point of being If you're just not seeing things What's the point of being here? People still believin' in love, oh love Yeah, people still believin' in love, oh love Yeah, people still believin' Believe in a higher love Uh-huh, uh-huh You can't believe in our government The church just gets you down Got to believe in somethin' 'Cause some hard times comin' around Every word he said was true Every detail, every sound The point of living Is to just keep living The point of being here People still believin' in love, oh love Yeah, people still believin' in love, oh love Yeah, people still believin' Believe in a higher love Yeah, people still believin' Yeah, people still believin' In love Yeah, people still believin' Yeah, people still believin' In love People still believin' (x5) In love

Snowbirds

I wanna go where it's warm 24 hours a day I wanna take you there Where there's no winter And the ice will melt in your glass I'm gonna take you there I wanna see those eyes brighter than they've ever been Your beauty never faded Not for me You're my Joan of Arc From the trailer park, yeah You're my sweet 16 That's what you've always been And we're snowbirds heading south again Yeah, we're snowbirds heading south again Seen some things, you and I We've said hello, we've waved goodbye We won't need a witness When we say "I do" for the last time You always know my aim is true That's no lie If there's a hurricane I'll shelter you from the drivin' rain It's so cold here it's hard to think about Turquoise, lilac and pink But we're snowbirds heading south again Yeah, we're snowbirds heading south again There'll be no stops along the way Because the sun sets fast at the end of the day You're my Joan of Arc From the trailer park You're my sweet 16 You're all I've ever been And we're snowbirds heading south again Yeah, we're snowbirds heading south again You're my snowbird You're my snowbird I wanna go where it's warm 24 hours a day

Montreal

My feet are slippin' in the snow can't understand what's on the radio I'm just trying to count the cost of all these days spent on my own I'll meet you later in a bar Somewhere on St. Laurent Street Guess you're probably gonna be the waitress Yeah, you'll probably think my accent is sooo sweet And this rain This rain is gonna freeze Now you've got me You've got me on my knees It's freezing over in Montreal Montreal Shops are closing Lights are coming on I'm still tryin' find my secondhand store Made an offer, yeah First refusal On a jacket she swore to me was pre-war Yeah, which war? You'll be beautiful 'til the day you die With your hair in my hands Snow fallin' outside It's freezing over in Montreal Montreal I keep slipping on this hill I can't move forward But I can't stand still This rain This rain is gonna freeze And you've got me You've got me on my knees It's freezing over in Montreal Montreal It's freezing over in Montreal Montreal

Metro

Instrumental

Wide Open

Let's sit down face to face
Close our eyes and leave the race
Slow it down a little
Get centred in the middle
Yeah, wide open
Wide open now
So tired of waiting for things to turn around again

'Cause I'm wide open now
Wide open
Somethin' has changed
But then everything changes
Wide open
There's no need to drop the bomb
Draw the blade or throw the stone
It's past midnight now
And these clean white sheets, you know
They don't care 'bout yesterday
Wide open now
So tired of waiting for things to turn around again

'Cause I'm wide open now
Wide open
Somethin' has changed
But then everything changes
Why would we waste this?

'Cause I'm wide open now
Wide open
Somethin' has changed
But then everything changes
Wide open now
Why would we waste this?
Why would we waste this?

Five Miles To Midnight

you can save me just before i fall c'mon baby i'm waitin' for your call you're a stranger and you can make me anyone five miles to midnight when you comin' home i miss the urgency i get when we're alone you come out of nowhere you go back on your own i've wasted too much time i'm not wastin' any more i need to see your eyes but you're out of sight our world's getting smaller and time is getting tight communication won't keep me warm tonight oh no five miles to midnight when you comin' home i miss the urgency i get when we're alone you come out of nowhere you go back on your own i've wasted too much time i'm not wastin' any more feeling high not so high to please (i'm not quite sure about this line) feeling high five miles to midnight when you coming home i miss the urgency i get when we're alone you come out of nowhere you go back on your own i've wasted too much time i'm not wasting any more i'm not wasting any more i'm not wasting any more

Vertical

Now the ground That's beneath your feet It's an open road It will take you where you want And the sky That's above your head It's yours now Go right through it if you dare But what you gonna do When it comes in on you And you're hurting? The waves breakin' on your back Are the lies you told The truth you once held in your hand But what you gonna do When they crash in on you And you're drowning? But now you're free You're almost vertical You're so high You're so high No one can touch you now The change That you're searchin' for Hard to find No matter where you are So what's it gonna take How many more mistakes This time around? But you're free It's like you're vertical You're so high You're so high Yeah, you're free To be who you wanna be You're so high You're so high Oh Seems a little late To find out who you are It's a circle, a sequence of events Running through your days It's time you were gone Is there a place where you can go? I can feel it in my bones We've been runnin' all this time And the streets and the accents and the fires And you're free You're almost vertical You're so high You're so high Yeah, you're free You're almost vertical You're so high You're so high Oh
