Unlucky in love I know you've seen it before
The same old movie with the same old score
The credits roll and then there's nothing more
And nothing comes to save us
The story's tired but it's also true
Look pretty close and it could be you
Couldn't cry the way I wanted to
When nothing comes to save us
Whoa nothing comes
Nothing comes
Nothing comes to save us
Sometimes the light burns out
Sometimes the light burns through
Sometimes all the colours fade to blue
Sometimes the film runs out
Before the story do
Sometimes it's already over at the ticket booth
Oh
Then it's done and the screen is dark
End of the reel there's a cigarette mark
The lights come up and everybody leaves
Then nothing comes to save us
Whoa nothing comes
Nothing comes
Nothing comes to save us
Until new love comes
New love comes
Whoa new love will come to save us
Oh new love comes
New love will come
Ah new love will come ooh
To save us

Moments

Moments
In a line
Moments
Making up a life
Out of moments
Moments, moments, moments
Moments
Quickly they all go by
In the blinking
Of an eye
Moments
Moments, moments, moments
There’s a trail we make
Of moments lying in our wake
Stretching out behind us
From the cradle to the grave
No one will survive
Not one of us gets out alive
If I have just one moment left
Let me spend it…
Moments
Without rhyme or reason
Moments
Long forgotten seasons
Moments
Moments, moments, moments
Moments
Some we wish had never
Found us
Threatening
To drown us
Moments, moments, moments
There’s a trail we make
Of moments lying in our wake
Stretching out behind us
From the cradle to the grave
No one will survive
Not one of us gets out alive
If I have just one moment left
Let me spend it by your side
Moments
Do not count them
Moments
All too quickly end
The moments
Moments, moments, moments
There’s a trail we make
Of moments lying in our wake
Stretching out behind us
From the cradle to the grave
No one will survive
Not one of us gets out alive
If I have just one moment left
Let me spend it by your…
Moments
Sentimental
Moments
Wear them like a medal
Moments
Moments, moments, moments

There's A Golden Thread
03:53
|
|||
There’s a golden thread, and it’s joining me
To the ones that’s dead, and yet to be
And the thread when plucked, rings the note of love
For that is the song in all of us
In all of us, in all of us
That is the song in all of us
There’s a golden thread, between you and I
And the fish in the sea, and the birds in the sky
If the thread should break, then my heart will too
That is what hearts are made to do
They break in two, they break in two
That is what hearts are made to do
Oh I’m a bead on a string
I’m a fleeting thing I know
Oh just dust in a bowl
Just a part of a whole
Just a flake of the everlasting soul
There’s a golden thread, and it joins us all
Lest we forget, we are not so small
And the thread when plucked, rings the note of love
For that is the song in all of us
In all of us, in all of us
Love is the song in all of us

Built This Way
04:13
|
|||
I’m built this way
I love you still
I can’t explain
But I always will
A season passed
As seasons will
My lot is cast
I love you still
I’m built this way
I’m a fool for love
A formless thing
An empty glove
Just a sheet of cloth
Till you make it a sail
With your wind of love
With your mast and rail
I’m built this way
Throw out the oars
And pierce the veil
My love is yours
I’m built this way
I love you still
I can’t explain
But I always will
I can’t explain
But I always will
I’m built this way
I’m a fool for love
As it is below
So it is above
As it is above
So it is below
I’m a fool for love
I told you so
It’s a curse for me
I’m built this way
But I love my curse
I’ll never change
It’s a promise
Not a platitude
I’m built this way
I would die for you
I’m built this way
I would die for you
I’m built this way
I would die for you

Rainbows In The Gasoline
04:09
|
|||
I pushed it to the edge
And then I pushed it over
‘Cause every jewel shines better with a flaw
You get broken in some places
A little tired and worn
I’m not much but I’m all yours
There’s no justice at the end
Not much in the beginning
There ain’t none in the middle that’s for sure
I don’t know much
But I know one thing for certain
You’ve gotta take this life and make it yours
The stars are in the gutter
The moon is on the roof
There’s rainbows in the gasoline
There’s a lie within the truth
There’s a truth within a lie
Sometimes
I’m just a bit player
And this is my part
To strut and fret a while on this floor
Stand up in the limelight
Shine through me cracks and all
I’m not much but I’m all yours
The stars are in the gutter
The moon is on the roof
There’s rainbows in the gasoline
There’s a lie within the truth
There’s a truth within a lie
It’ll get you every time
There’s wrigglers in the billy can
And diamonds in the beach sand
I’m lost here but I have a plan
I’m all yours

We'll Meet Again
04:15
|
|||
We'll meet again
Some sunny day in heaven
Some sunny day
When all the sadness ends
We'll meet again
Where we have no fear of losing
And no want for gain
And no memory of pain
Oh we'll meet again
When we're weary from this living
We've given all we've got
It ain't a lot to give
For loving isn't easy
Loving isn't easy
Loving, loving, loving isn't easy
We'll meet again
When all questions find an answer
When the final curtain calls
And the last note
Of the last song
Falls

I'm Ready
03:53
|
|||
I know you're not an angel
But you look like one to me
Whoa standing in your perfect girlish body
I know I should be thankful
That I'm here at all to see
But I want you and I want you to want me
I want you and I want you to want me
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
I'm ready to feel that bad again
I already know that it's worth the pain
Ooh
I am reaching for the place
I am reaching for the place
Where we ache most beautifully
I am reaching for the place
You showed to me
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
You say you'd only break my heart but I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

A Heart Is Not An Anvil
04:20
|
|||
It was really pissing buckets
On the highway to another town
And I thought I heard the sound
Of God crackling through the radio
And I thought you loved me
Of that I was mistaken too
Life's like that for those who love
You bleed when someone else is cut
And a heart is not an anvil
You can lay your hammer to
Although it may seem sturdy as it suffers blows
You can break it half in two
There's a certain kind of despair
That gathers lightly in the air
When where you're bound is so far away
You're not sure if you can make it there
In this lifetime
And you start to question where you're going
And then you start to wonder why
You ask yourself if maybe you should've
Played the game with loaded dice
And a heart is not an anvil
You can lay your hammer to
Although it may seem sturdy as it suffers blows
You can break it half in two
And I miss you my love
I miss you
But I still remember what it's like
To be with you
We don't always know what's best for us
We can only guess and hope that's enough
We hope that it's enough

Powerless

The Devil came
He knew my name
He asked me down
To live with him
I said “not today”
Nor any other day
No, I ain’t going
Down that way
Better hear me
When I say
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
Nevertheless
Down I went
Life is beautiful but indifferent
And if you find
You need a friend
Here is a song
That I can recommend
Sing to me
Sing to me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
You are powerless against me
Powerless
Powerless

Falter, Fade
05:19
|
|||
I think I've found a love
That will not falter
Will not fade
I who've known sadness
For so long
Can I smile today?
Is it ok? Is it ok?
I'm hanging up my gloves
Gonna put my shield away
Beat my swords to ploughshares
Till the earth
Break new ground...
In my own way
In my own way
In my own way
In my own way
Something tells me
Something tells me this time
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
I’ve been this way before
And I’ve been wrong
How do I trust the heart again
Let it tumble from my hand
Into the mill
To be polished
Or just worn away
Something tells me
Something tells me this time
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
Gonna do it in my own way
In my own way
In my own way
Gonna do it in my own way
In my own way, in my own way, in my own way
Something tells me
Something tells me this time
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
Will not falter, fade
