All you do to me is talk talk
If every sign that I see is complete
Then I'm a fool in your game
And all you want to do
Is tell me your lies
Won't show the other side
You're just wasting my time
All you do to me is talk talk
When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what's right and what's wrong
Don't you ever stop to think about me
I'm not that blind to see
That you've been cheating on me
You're laughing at me when I'm up
Crying for me when I'm down
Laughing at me when I'm up
Crying for me
All you do to me is talk talk
It's so serious
This endless sea of tears
The feeling that I'll drown
I'd try to catch them
But they're sure to touch the ground
My world of emptiness
A child without a toy
Forgiving anything
Restore me to my joy
It's so serious
Today, today
It's a dream away
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice
The sermon pleads
Today today
It's a dream away
Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I'd read
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can
But don't delay
Today today
It's a dream away
Belle Malissima
Today today
It's a dream away
The party's over
Much older than you'd say
THIS FRIEND OF NO-ONE
TIME, CREASES ON YOUR FACE
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
The party's over
I never thought you'd stay
A style of reason
This life of masquerade
Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain
Of your love
Is all I'm guilty of
Take this punishment away Lord
Name the crime I'm guilty of
Too much hope I've seen as virtue
Name the crime I'm guilty of
The child's not there
The priest is losing faith
Defile my care
And stumble to the flames
People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
.... Hate
THE DICE WON'T LOSE
They've everything to gain
Devout prepare
The stones along my grave
People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
.... Hate
Don't say a word
If I've been away too long
I found out it's wrong
I found out ...
I DON'T NEED HATE
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
I don't like to read the news
Do you know anything I'm going through
Did you see my photograph
It was on page ten
I swore to everyone
I'm not to blame
I turned around and saw him hit the ground
A little earlier it was a game
I'm so disposable
You can throw me away
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
What a fool I've been
Didn't get to him in time
'What's been happening?'
It's so hard to sleep at night
It's so hard to sleep at night
To sleep at night
I don't like to read the news
D'you know anything I'm going through
Every little bit of my time
Keeps me checking that my clothes are in line
I'll identify without wasting time
Mirror man
Inside of her room today
She's been working all hours
For the final presentation
Each day, dressed a different way
She's the star of the road
Every little bit of her time
Keeps her checking that she stays out of line
She'll wear anything you can't recognise
Mirror man
SEE THE STATE SHE'S IN
All soldiers have a cause
Giving life upon graffitied walls
As a way to pass the time
I saw a father's tear
For a leader standing over here
'Who's the King?' says a passer by
But it's another word
Candy,
When I tried to turn away
To feel new again
My emotion cost me pain
Did I look the same
When I think about the times
That I laughed away the idea you'd cheat me
But look again
What do you say 'That's my name'
AND I HOPE THAT I'VE KEPT YOU AMUSED
TO WIPE THAT SPIT RIGHT OFF MY BOOTS
And when I'm home and thinking in the dark
I hope that none of this has had to go too far
When it gets too late
To see me any other way
And it gets so hard to hold on
To everything that I want so bad
