Lyrics

Now

(Frederiksen, Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

I wanna know you better
Let's spend some time together
I wanna be what's on your mind
Look in my eyes they're callin'
I need your love to fall in
If you could just give me a sign

I can't get over baby
I can't get over now
I can't get over this feelin' I feel

Now, right now
If the fire inside you
Feels like I feel
Now, right now
Deep inside of me
Deep inside of me

I'm tired of make believin'
I'm lost and barely breathin'
I'm on the ceiling help me down
So stop my heart from achin'
I'll be the risk you're takin'
And I won't rest until you're mine

I wanna show you baby
I wanna show you now
I wanna tell you this feelin' I feel

Now, right now
If the fire inside you
Feels like I feel
Now, right now
If it's love you're cravin'
It's a love worth savin'

I can't get over this feelin' I feel now, yeah
Now, right now
Let the fire inside you
Burn like I do
Now, right now
If it's love you're cravin'
It's a love worth savin'
Deep inside of me
Deep inside
Deep inside of me
Deep inside of me
Deep inside

Unbelievable

(Aldeheim, Carlsson, Martin)

Hey
Yeah

Had your name all tattooed on my heart
'Cos God, how could this be wrong
It's unbelievable, unbelievable
Just the picture of me left out
In this Hollywood babylon
Was unbelievable, unbelievable
So let my greatest fear walk out the door
This ain't what we're fightin' for

You don't say that it's over
Never thought this could die
But you speak without words
Makin' me feel so damn good
Bye
It's unbelievable

Girl, I picture how the ghost of you
Would follow me everywhere
It's undeniable, unbelievable
If I couldn't feel your velvet lips
Y' fingers run through my hair
It's inconceivable, unbelievable
So let my greatest fear walk out the door
This ain't what we're fightin' for

You don't say that it's over
Never thought this could die
But you speak without words
(Speak without words)
Makin' me feel so damn good

Did you really think about it
What we could be missing
I find it so hard to believe
Yeah

Unbelievable
It's unbelievable, yeah

You don't say that it's over
Never thought this could die
But you speak without words
(Speak without words)
Makin' me feel so damn good
You don't say that it's over
Never thought this could die
Oh, but you speak without words
(Speak without words)
Makin' me feel so damn good, bye
Makin' me feel so damn good
Bye
Unbelievable
Yeah
Unbelievable

You're So Beautiful

(Frederiksen, Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

You say all I do is think about you
That's right, you're the only thing that's on my mind
Your light, won't you let it shine on me, yeah
All night, hold me tight and don't let go
'Cos I can't help myself, y'know

(It's OK) I know what I got
(Alright) I know that it's hot
(All good) And you're what I want
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful
(It's OK) One thing on my mind
(Alright) I'm so in love
(All good) And so alive
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful

Yeah, an angel from the sky
The sparkle in my eye
I can't believe you're mine
Na na na na na

Sometimes you slip 'n' slide through my emotions
So high, take me up and spin me 'round
'Cos I don't wanna come back down

(It's OK) I know what I got
(Alright) I know that it's hot
(All good) And you're what I want
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful
(It's OK) One thing on my mind
(Alright) I'm so in love
(All good) And so alive
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful

Yeah, an angel from the sky
The sparkle in my eye
I can't believe you're mine
Na na na na na

(It's OK) You're so beautiful
(It's alright)

I can't believe you're mine
An angel from the sky
The sparkle in my eye
Gets better every time
Na na na na na

(It's OK) I know what I got
(Alright) I know that it's hot
(All good) And you're what I want
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful
(It's OK) One thing on my mind
(Alright) I'm so in love
(All good) And so alive
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful

(It's OK) You're under my skin
(Alright) My head's in a spin
(All good) Again and again
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful
(It's OK) I look in your eyes
(Alright) I'm so in love
(All good) And so alive
(Alright) 'Cos you're so beautiful

(It's OK)
(It's alright)
(It's all good)
(It's alright)
'Cos you're so beautiful
(It's OK)
(It's alright)
(It's all good)
(It's alright)
'Cos you're so beautiful

Everyday

(Frederiksen, Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

I gave in when you gave out
You showed me the way to love
There ain't no doubt
Always together and never apart

Disappeared, didn't say a word
Slept right through, guess I never heard
Now I'm awake but I wish I was dreamin'

Everyday without you in my heart
Everyday I'm fallin' apart
And I know you know I think about you
Everyday

I woke up and you were gone
Just one night without you
Is too long

Sleeping with the ghost of you
Dying with or without you
Don't wanna feel this way tomorrow

Everyday without you in my heart
Everyday I'm fallin' apart
And I know you know I think about you
Everyday

Don't know what you got until it's gone

Everyday without you in my heart
Everyday I'm fallin' apart
And I know you know I think about you
Everyday 'til I see you again
Everyday I'll try to pretend
That I know you know I think about you

Everyday
Outta my head all the days are confused
Everyday
I'm lost but it's you that I don't wanna lose
Everyday
We're torn 'til we're givin' ourselves to each other

Long, Long Way To Go

(W. Hector, S. Robson)

You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?
And anyone who knew us both can see
We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
And all this pain, when does it go away?

Then everytime I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew, to you
To you

From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

Then everytime I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew

To you I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes
Oh, and even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come
Oh, and I'll move on

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Gotta long way to go
Before I can say goodbye
Before I say goodbye
To all I ever knew
To all I ever knew
I gotta long way to go
Before I say
Say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl
Oh and all of the rest to you

Four Letter Word

(Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

Ain't just your kiss, K-I-S-S, that I miss
Ain't just the way that you squeeze me tight
If there's a wish at the top of my list
Is that you be there everyday and every night

I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L-O-V-E

Indeedy
Alright

And when the rush that I'm dreamin' of's not enough
You touch and I can't control myself
You put the glide back into my stride, oh yeah
You move me like nobody else

I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L-O-V-E

Oh yeah
Let me spell it out
C'mon

You're all I'm lookin' for
You ain't the girl next door
You're real and so much more
You put me to shame
And then you walk right in
You know I can't explain
Here come that lovin' thing
All over again

Live life just like a wild ride
More like a landslide
Take me away

New four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word
And baby, the sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word

Hey
Lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L-O-V-E

Torn To Shreds

(Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

I don't wanna fall in love
But it's been taken out of my hands
And right now I realize
I don't wanna say goodbye

I miss you more than words can say
They never turn out right
But here goes anyway

Everyday I miss your touch
Never thought it would mean so much
All the words I could have said
Got me reelin' torn to shreds
Every road I go is nowhere
But I know you're out there somewhere
These voices in my head
Got me feelin' torn to shreds

I can't help the way I feel
But somethin's got a hold of my heart
It hurts that I can't let go
Now I just wanna let you know

I need you more than words can say
They never turn out right
But here goes anyway

Everyday I miss your touch
Never thought it would mean so much
All the words I could have said
Got me reelin' torn to shreds
Every road I go is nowhere
But I know you're out there somewhere
These voices in my head
Got me feelin' torn to shreds

If I ever get myself together
And it takes whatever it takes
To get myself back to you

Everyday I miss your touch
Never thought it would mean so much
All the words I could have said
Got me reelin' torn to shreds
Every road I go is nowhere
But I know you're out there somewhere
These voices in my head
Got me feelin' torn to shreds

Love Don't Lie

(Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

Time
Just watching the time slippin' away
Gimme a sign
Where do you go when you can't find the way

So we watch and we wait
And we crawl and we kneel
If you know who you are
Then you know how to feel
In time
Maybe temptation is all that you need

Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
It's not as easy as it seems
When you can't even sleep in your dreams
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love don't lie
Yeah, love don't lie

Out in the cold
With a love that burns like the sun
You've stolen my soul
So justice would seem to be done

So we hope and we pray
And we live and we learn
If we know where we are
Then we know where to turn
In time
Maybe persuasion is all that you need

Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
It's not as easy as it seems
When you can't even sleep in your dreams
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye for the proof
That love don't lie

Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
It's stronger than steel
It's got the heart and emotion to heal
Love don't lie
It lifts you up
Takes you higher when high ain't enough
Love don't lie
And that's the truth
Look me straight in the eye
Straight in the eye for the proof
Love don't lie
Yeah love don't lie
Oh, oh
Love don't lie
Yeah love don't lie

Gravity

(Collen, Elliott, Woodroffe, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

Can't sleep at night
The darkness enslaves me
I turn out the light
And no one can save me

So try not to stare 'cos I'm stripped to the bone
It's a trick of the light and I'm lost

Feel like I'm fallin'
Gravity is draggin' me
My head's about to break
(Can't break my fall)
Insanity inside of me
It's like I'm wide awake
Feel like I'm fallin'
Can't recognize, I'm hypnotized
These feelings can't be fake
(Can't take it all)
This gravity is killin' me
I can't stand up for fallin' down

I lie to myself
It don't make it easy
If somebody else
Would only believe me

My sweat soaks the sheets and I'm hung out to dry
It's a trick of the light and I'm lost

Feel like I'm fallin'
Gravity is draggin' me
My head's about to break
(Can't break my fall)
This gravity is killin' me
I can't stand up for fallin' down
Feel like I'm fallin'

Wake up
Don't try to catch me
Just let me fall
Eyes wide shut
Don't make a sound
Keep fallin' till I hit the ground

Feel like I'm fallin'
Gravity is draggin' me
My head's about to break
(Can't break my fall)
Insanity inside of me
It's like I'm wide awake
Feel like I'm fallin'
Can't recognize, I'm hypnotized
These feelings can't be fake
(Can't take it all)
This gravity is killin' me
I can't stand up for fallin' down
Feel like I'm fallin'
Gravity is draggin' me
My head's about to break
(Can't break my fall)
Insanity inside of me
It's like I'm wide awake
Feel like I'm fallin'
Can't recognize, I'm hypnotized
These feelings can't be fake
(Can't take it all)
This gravity is killin' me
I can't stand up for fallin' down

Cry

(Collen, Elliott, Savage, Campbell, Allen)

Here comes the flood
Can you feel the love
Washin' over you
Like a tidal wave inside of you
Here comes the night
Can you see the light
Shinin' like the sun
You wanna hide
But it's got you on the run

Every word you say
Is takin' your breath away

Cry, the demons that you hide
Screamin' through the night
They won't forget you
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Need, the circus you gotta feed
The wound that never heals
It don't let go
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down

She's here again
Your only friend
Watchin' over you
She never takes her eyes away from you
She's wide awake
And she lies in wait
Your chosen bride
A mother, a lover
The kick inside

Every single day
It's takin' your breath away

Cry, the demons that you hide
Screamin' through the night
They won't forget you
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Need, the circus you gotta feed
The wound that never heals
It don't let go
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down

It's been so long since I come undone
I'm slippin' in to my second skin

Cry, the demons that you hide
Screamin' through the night
They won't forget you
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Need, the circus you gotta feed
The wound that never heals
It don't let go
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down

Girl Like You

(Campbell, Collen, Elliott, Savage, Allen)

Boy meets girl in prime of life
Blinded by big city lights
I'm on fire and you're the flame
You inspire the road I take
You take me to a better place
You're the sun and I'm the rain

You're all that I need to make me believe
I'm over the edge but I'm not afraid
'Cos I know it's true

With a girl like you (like you) to be by my side
With a girl like you, love me for the inside
With a girl like you I set the scene to follow
With a girl like you, love for all tomorrow
With a girl like
You

You were raised to be so good
I grew up misunderstood
We were distant worlds apart
Feels so right it's meant to be
Shootin' stars and chemistry
They unite a beating heart

You're pullin' me up, I can't get enough
Comin' on strong but I'm not that tough
But I know it's true

With a girl like you (like you) to be by my side
With a girl like you, love me for the inside
With a girl like you I set the scene to follow
With a girl like you, love for all tomorrow
With a girl like...

You
You

With a girl like you (like you) to be by my side
With a girl like you, love me for the inside
With a girl like you I set the scene to follow
With a girl like you, love for all tomorrow
With a girl like
You

Let Me Be The One

(Elliott, Campbell, Collen, Savage, Allen)

Something in the way you move
Let's me get too close to you
I tremble when I look at your face
And I want all the world to see
Tonight the world belongs to me
Touch me with your animal grace

Put your hand on my heart
And feel the need in me

Let me be the one
Lead me into temptation
And show me the right side of wrong
Let me be the one
Take me in from the cold
Gimme something to hold
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

Burnin' in the afterglow
We catch the wind and let it go
Washed away like words in the sand
A passion that's so physical
Electric and untouchable
Don't want to let it slip through my hands

Put your hand on my heart
And feel the need in me

Let me be the one
Lead me into temptation
And show me the right side of wrong
Let me be the one
Take me in from the cold
Gimme something to hold

Don't let this dream pass by
Just spread your wings and fly
Reach out and touch
Let your heart just breathe me in
I'll be your oxygen

Put your hand on my heart
Feel the need in me

Let me be the one
Lead me into temptation
And show me the right side of wrong
Let me be the one
Take me in from the cold
Gimme something to hold
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Oh, oh
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

Scar

(Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Savage, Woodroffe, Allen)

How can I know
How can I see it through your eyes
Now you know
All those promises were lies

You close your eyes
You close your mind
To all you lost
I count the days
I count the ways
I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience
All you believe - no crime
All that you take - no reason
All that you leave - no rhyme
All that you lose - no sorrow
All that you find - no shame
Can't take away the scar you left behind
How do you cry
When you've run right out of tears
You justify
But the pain won't disappear

I count the days
I count the ways
I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience
All you believe - no crime
All that you take - no reason
All that you leave - no rhyme
All that you lose - no sorrow
All that you find - no shame
Can't take away the scar you left

Wake up

You close your eyes
You close your mind
To all you lost
I count the days
I count the ways
I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience
All you believe - no crime
All that you take - no reason
All that you leave - no rhyme
All that you lose - no sorrow
All that you find - no shame
Can't take away the scar you left behind

Kiss The Day

(Savage, Collen, Elliott, Campbell, Allen)

These are the days we throw away
The words we never say
A time so fragile and so wrong
And we're still knocking on the door
Of a world that's gone before
Until the real thing comes along

Kiss the day on its way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes, like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day in a way
It holds you in its arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day

And now I've seen enough to know
Though the truth can leave you cold
It can always lead you home
Back to the place where we belong
To the time when we were strong
When we could roll away the stone

Kiss the day on its way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes, like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day in a way
It holds you in its arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day
Kiss the day

These are the days we throw away
The words we never say
Until the real thing comes along

Kiss the day on its way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes, like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day in a way
It holds you in its arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day

Long, Long Way To Go (acoustic)

(W. Hector, S. Robson)

Rebel Rebel

(David Bowie)

Got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hairs alright
Hey, babe, lets go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more, and you want it first
Put you down, say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

Got your mother in a whirl 'cause
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hairs alright
Hey, babe, lets go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more, and you want it first
Put you down, say I'm wrong

Hot tramp, I love you so much!

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got transmission and a live wire
Got your cue lines and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dues
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
To what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where'd you wanna go? (rebel rebel)
Can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress (rebel rebel)
And your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, your face is a mess (rebel rebel)
Ooo, ooo, so how could they know? (rebel rebel)
How could they know? Hah
Hah-hah

Stay With Me

(Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)

In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfume smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor

guitar

Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about

Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Let's go up stairs and read my tarot cards

Come on yeah

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you gonna stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me

Come on

So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door

Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up

Come on yeah

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you're going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo

10X Bigger Than Love

(Elliott, Collen, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

I lost my heart to infatuation
You can't cure that with a vaccination
A bad blood is pumping through my veins
I can't slow down, livin' life in the fast lane

Your body language, it's telepathic
I'm caught up in the middle of a two-way traffic
Wondering if this is the impossible dream
Or whether we could make such a beautiful team

I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love

Intoxicated 'till I can't feel a thing
I feed my thirst on your unchained adrenaline
My body's shakin' like a man on the run
You blow my mind like sex and machine guns

I got scars and bloody knuckles
Diggin' for a diamond in a whole lotta trouble
You detonate me like a nuclear bomb
Wiped out and sleepin' with the TV on

I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than

Love is love, it ain't always right
Make you sweat, keep you up all night
Walkin' in with your eyes wide open
You're looking out on a lost horizon
Always something to knock you over
And make you feel like you're getting nowhere
If you can't stand up when you're on your knees
Then close your eyes and float up to the breeze

I've lost my heart but, hey, you can keep it
'Cause it ain't no good at keeping a secret
It's got me doing things that I'd never do
Another fine mess that it's gotten me into

I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is, I don't know what it is

I don't know what to do when I get this feeling
I don't know what it is but it stops me breathin'
A little white lie that you got to believe in
Don't know what it is but it's ten times bigger than love

Gimme A Job

(Elliott, Collen, Campbell, Savage, Allen)

I need a job
I need it right now
Not just any old job
But I need it right now

It's gotta be a good one
It's gotta last
Longer than the other ones
In the past

I can work hard
And do my thing
Twenty-four seven
Anything

Yeah

Gimme a job
My love is unemployed
Gimme a job
And my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job
I don't mean to be paranoid
So come on over baby
And gimme a job

Oh yeah

I don't care
If the pay's no good
Just gimme some shelter
And throw me some food

I can do the overtime
And I won't strike
Sign on the dotted line
Anything you like

Yeah

Gimme a job
My love is unemployed
Gimme a job
And my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job
I don't mean to sound paranoid
So come on over baby
And gimme a job

[guitar solo]

I don't need no money
To make my dream come true
I don't need anything
All I want is you

Ain't that the truth!

Uh!

Gimme a job
My love is unemployed
Gimme a job
And my heart ain't overjoyed
Gimme a job
I don't mean to be paranoid
So come on over baby

Gimme a job
My love is on it's knees
Gimme a job
If you want it, then baby please
Gimme a job
Get me out of this deep, deep freeze
So come on over baby
And gimme a job
