I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
I've got a way
It's the only things thats mine
All I'm asking for is tenderness
A little tenderness

Ooo it's a cruel place
You never asked to be here
Nobody cares and no ones gonna help you now
It's dog eat dog the human race
The only thing they'll do is hate you

Such a crime to be unkind
Turn your cheek pretend your blind

I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
It aint over
I've got a way
It's the only thing that's mine
All im asking for is tenderness
Tenderness

I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
It aint over
I've got a way
It's the only thing that's mine
All im asking for is tenderness

Be strong now baby
Gotta be strong now baby
Gotta be strong!

Hold my breath

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

I close my eyes
And I see your sweet smile
Been a while since you came and talked

Places I've been
And people I've seen
Simply pale into view when compared

Cross my heart
Cross my fingers
Hold my breath

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

Space and time
Our souls entwine
We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part
But the saints in heaven
Hear the lonely cry

Space and time

We are touching something
Spiritual and divine

The lonesome heart
When our souls part

Hear the lonely cry

Ooh there could be love in your eyes

Ooh there could be love in your soul

I want to feel it so deep down baby
Ooh I could love you so bad
I want to give you devotion

Oh what's the matter with me now baby
Feelings are mixed up inside

You'd better be careful or you might just get
What you are looking for
Now I'm in chains
Not exactly what I'm looking for

Ooh I'm putting magic aside
I love the look in your eyes now baby
Ooh it tells me you're mine
I wanna dive in your ocean

Oh what's the matter with me now baby
Feelings are mixed up inside
Come along and be mine only child

You'd better be careful or you might just get

You'd better be careful or you might just get
What you are looking for

Not exactly what I'm looking for

What a situation
Senses gone and left me
Lies are like confetti on the floor

Words are leading nowhere
Delicate and tender
Tender hooks that drive me to despair

Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

When a lover leaves you
Cuts you without knowing
The world just falls apart beneath your feet

Talk is cheap and useless
Nothing but excuses
Lies are like confetti in my hands

Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried

Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?

Skyline
Passion
City streets that I adore
Shadows
By me grow
Rent collectors at my door

You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink
Looking from the window
Kissing in the kitchen
Fall so hard that I don't have to think

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Mindless
Gameshows
Flicking through the multi-screen
Twilight
Time is slow
Fall so hard that I could scream

You got your religion
I got my addictions
Fall so hard that I don't have to think

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

All the things that I adore
Ones I've chosen to ignore
Rent collectors at my door
I can't take it anymore

Where do you go when you think about me?
What do I do when I think about you?

You got your religion
I got my addictions
We got dirty dishes in the sink

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Darlene
This is where I want to be
Wrapped within your arms eternally
Falling deep under your spell
High upon the magic that you weave

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

Anytime you're feeling lonely
Like a ship without a sail
Anytime that I fall and stumble
Be my rock where others fail

Anytime that you're feeling lonely
Come along and be mine only
All it takes is a little trying
Please don't you leave me crying

He don't want to know
Just turn around and go

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

Anytime that you're feeling restless
Take a deep breath and let it go
Only know that it leaves me breathless
Anytime that you're feeling low

Anytime that you're feeling lonely
Come along and be mine only
I can see your future with me
Can you fill the need within me?

When I close my eyes
You're the only one I love
Take me darling

If he don't want to know
Just turn around and go

Woah, woah
There's enough for everybody
The world she don't mind

Woah, woah
How my eyes adore you
As you walk into the room

Like a bubble that's floating
On high above
I won't break down
I won't cry
But the colours are melting
I am fragile

I've been acting so coldly
And hope some day
That you will forgive me

You are the one
That knows me for who I really am
It'll all be gone in the morning
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

There's a light at
The end of the tunnel
I am crawling slowly
I am small

What's been up with me lately?
Hardly know me
Who's that in the mirror?

You are the one
That knows my moods of joy and anger
You've been coping and lonely
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Fly away
From a broken heart
You have your love I've got to know

What you say to me?
Why'd you throw it all away?
Where you go to I don't know

As tears of angels
Whisper softly through the trees
Calling to me
Hear there gently sighing pleas

I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
And I care if you forget about me
And I cry
And I cry
'Til you take it all from my heart

Fly away
Upon the wings of love
Though I'll be here again tomorrow

Like an angel
Falling softly upon her knees
Calling to me
Hear her gently sighing pleas

I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
And I care if you forget about me
But I cry
And I cry
'Til you take it all from my heart

I'm a fool if I think my babe'll come back
I'll be waiting still I'm starting to crack
And I care if you forget about me
And I cry
And I cry
'Til you take it all from my heart

I'm just saying
I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink
But her soul's intact
Mama said to me
Be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes
Of a broken man

Sail away
I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home soon

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

I'm just saying
Not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her
In his overtime
He's no saint I know
As he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep
He's my daddy

Sail away
I will go it alone now
Leave my past behind
To seek fortune and fame

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

Sail away
There's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Like a prodigal son
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

I'm a sucker for love
All that's artificial
Sometimes below
The belt I hit you

For without love
Hell freezes over
And wherever you go searching
Know I'll want some

Give me back my calling cards and vices
My dignity and romance novels too

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

If you wanna know the truth
I'm feeling open ended
For without love
I'm not tremendous

The world we share
It's not pretending
And whenever you go AWOL
Know I'll be there

Give me back the photographs I sent you
My residence and cool emotion too

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

You gotta ride
Ride, ride, ride

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now
The love we have
Is for the better now

Come and hold me
And dissolve me
But I never do what I am told to
You enthuse me
Don't abuse me
At the worse of times you'll never lose me

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I could fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

I was dreaming
We were sleeping
And you held me tight to keep believing
Don't upset me
I won't let you
Fall into a space that's empty

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I could fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

There are times when I could fall in love with you
There are times when I would scream till I was blue

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

Don't get me wrong
I can be strong
When I would fall in love with you
Don't let me down
Take me to test
When I would fall in love with you
Like a child
Like a child

Blinded by the vision
I turn and face my back to the wall
'Cause I'm locked up in a rhythm
The prism of a big glitter ball

Wrapped around your finger
I'm caught up in the middle with you baby
With some laughter and drinking
There's very little else I can do

Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I've been making eyes at somebody else
You're no longer number one

She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

You're rushing down
Like a rollercoaster
Night on the town
Gonna make the most of
We can dance 'til Sunday morning girl

You're pushing and a-shoving me baby
Like a bitch to the wall
But you're driving me crazy
Right up to fever pitch I could fall

When you shine down your love light
I'm getting blinded by the sights and sounds

She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

I will see you
I will get you
I will see you
I will get you
I will see you
I will get you
Then I go and drop a bombshell upon you
I've been making eyes at somebody baby
You're no longer number one

She loves the night
And all that glitters
Her name in lights
Around the city
Don't you mess your life up Sunday girl

You're rushing down
Like a rollercoaster
Night on the town
Gonna make the most of
We can dance 'til Sunday morning
We can dance 'til Sunday morning
We can dance 'til Sunday morning girl

You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart, everything is new
And you know time will always find a way
To let your heart believe it's true
You know love is everything you say
A whisper, a word, promises you give
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day
You know this is the way love is

[Chorus:]
Amarantine
Amarantine
Amarantine
Love is always love

You know love may sometimes make you cry
So let the tears go, they will flow away
For you know love will always let you fly
How far a heart can fly away

[Chorus]

You know when love's shining in your eyes
It may be the stars fallen from above
And you know love is with you when you rise
For night and day belong to love

City Streets passing by,
Underneath stormy skies.

Neon signs in the night,
Red and blue city lights.
Cargo trains rolling by,
Once again someone cries.

Trains and winter rains,
No going by, no going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Everytime, it's the same.
One more night, one more train.
Everywhere empty roads,
Where they go, no one knows.

Trains and winter rains,
No going by, no going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Da, da, da, da...

Trains and winter rains,
No going by, no going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Trains and winter rains,
No going by, no going home.
Trains across the plains,
And in the sky, the star alone.

Un paso atrбs
Con la ciudad a pleno sol
Ya no puedo fallar
Y mal gastar el amor
Una y no mбs
Y el alma fuera de control
їPor quй mi vida es asн?
Como una rara maldiciуn.

Yo dependo de ti.
Y ahora estoy aquн
Tu amigo vulnerable
No puedo seguir
La historia interminable

Dйjame pasear, hay corazуn para los dos.
Es necesario ser feliz
Lo creas tъ o no
Yo dependo de ti

Yo dependo de ti
Y ahora estoy aquн
Tu amigo vulnerable
No puedo seguir
La historia interminable
Estoy aquн
Gritando tu nombre
Solo en soledad
Yo dependo de ti

La luz se va – y tъ te vas
No puedo estar un dнa mбs – ni un dнa mбs sin ti
Ni un dнa mбs sin ti

Yo dependo de ti.
Y ahora estoy aquн
Tu amigo vulnerable
No puedo seguir
La historia interminable
Estoy aquн
Gritando tъ nombre
Solo en soledad
Yo dependo de ti
