I'm sorry to say that I didn't know her name
In fact the last six hours are a haze
Piecing together the fragments of a frame
Why my motor skills are out of phase
I feel like I've awoken in a maze
Though we've never met before
Baby, I am sure...

Hmm. A 1, 1, 2, 3, 4...

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
One of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
It was one of those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
As we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye and amen
Here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
One of those things

If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
As we started to bust up the town
We'd have been aware that this love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, good-bye and amen
Here's hopin' we'll meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

. . .


Hello Innocence
Though it seems like we've been friends for years
I'm finishing
How I wish I had never begun
Though it should be the last one
And it's dragging me down to my knees
Where I'm begging you please

Let me go
Don't you know

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I tried
And I said I could change and I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside

She's a melody
That I've tried to forget but I can't
It still follows me
When I wake in the dead of the night
And I know that I can't find
That song going round in my head
Like the last things you said

Please don't go
You think I know

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried
And I said I could change but I lied
Well there's something still moves me inside

No I won't come back
No I won't come back
No I won't come back
No I won't come back

One dark morning
She left without a warning
And took the red-eye back to London town

I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now
I'm all over it now

I'm all over it now
And I can't say how glad I am about that
I'm all over it now
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried
And I said I would change but I lied
Yeah there's something still moves me inside

. . .


Everyday you live a life so full of hope
Shouldn't drag your soul around you like a leather vogue
You remember everything you thought your life would be
Well its fallin through the craks of ancient history

Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world

Friday night and everything is a ok
We are living like we've always known a different way
We are taking on our different roads before our goal
It'll bring you back around to the one you know

Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Oh, Is this something that I never, something that i never had
Tell you what I've heard
The wheels are falling off, the wheels are falling off the world

. . .


If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring.
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
and we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.

(piano solo)

If i ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There'd be happiness that no man could end,
no my friend, not if i ruled the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will i rule the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
Every star would shine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will i rule the world.

. . .


Every time I see what's written on your mind
I turn away and drop my guard
Your high horse will be the leader of the blind
Tender love and truth aside
I'm in possession of so many tones
I loved it all my life
Feel the rhythm in your very bones
I never sleep at night.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.

Truthfully I've got a modus operandi
I never seem to finish lovin'
You train your eye and force yourself to make a stand
When it dies a warmer stuffing
Lose yourself and on the edge of reason
Teenage ears so drown
Even I don't know what I am feeling
Lost you til I'm found.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
Winter's bitter song
You and me are gone, gone away.

Yeah...

See the joyous pro's have left my tongue
For other warmer things,
Battle songs are written to be sung
A million toxic lies.

You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone
You and me are gone

. . .


It's gettin late
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)

Who knew,
That you'd be up here looking like you do
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show (oh)

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin on the dancefloor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
lets escape into the music
Dj let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

(Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music)

VERSE ONE:
Everyone knows that I'm rightfully yours
So bring out your dirt from your previous wars
So lay thee to rest 'cause I'm chasing away all the dust that you're Leaving behind

CHORUS:
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more

'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down

VERSE TWO:
You wear your heart like a brooch for all to see
But the blood that pumps through
So will you save that for me
I've sweetened my tongue
And I've sharpened my words and my wit
And I've written my lines

CHORUS:
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more
Because Love ain't gonna let you down
love ain't gonna let you down no more

'Cause I'll turn your world around
and love ain't gonna let you down

BRIDGE:
Feel it burning like a bomb raging a thousand summers grazing on your skin restlessly anticipating so many tiny things
etc...

CHORUS

. . .


Everything I know is you
Let me tell you what we're listening to
I'm a gentle soul I'm sure
But on the stereo I'm a dictator
Do you even haven tape machine?
To facilitate my plastic dreams
All the things that I have seen, from
Morrissey to John Coltrane AHHH!...
Cinematic Orchestra, De La Soul the Shangri-La's
An adolescent love letter, a sparkling jewel of manual labour

I'll make you mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that's runnung round my head

That's runnung round my head

Fondling, record and play
Without you it's records night and day
This ain't no disc of MP3's
This one' handmade, fashioned lovingly

Plant the rythm in your bones
You're the only angel in headphones
My love can paint a million tones
From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong
So resurrect your stereo
And the swathrs of melodies will flow
Thelonious, Maurizio

I tell you babe it will make my heart glow
I'll make you mixtape that's a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it's all you need to know
I'll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that's runnung round my head

. . .


I think I love
every single little crack on your face
I think I love
even our most casual embrace
You don't have to try
Cause I've made up my mind
Baby, I think I love you today

Remember that time
you threw a can of beer at me like a stone
You drunk too much wine
and threw up in the taxi cab on the way home
You looked like a mess
But I must confess
Baby, I think I love you today

When I think what we could do
If I could only say to you, yeah
All of these things,
well do I dare
and would you care?

I think I love
everytime you honor me with a kiss
I think I love
well, there are just a million things I could list
Should let you know
but maybe tomorrow
Baby, I think I love you today

. . .


We Run Things
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Getting love if you can love (yeah)
Nothing left for you to say,
Trouble melts and ridence stays,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now.


We run things another way,
We run things another way,
I draw a face on a dartboard (yeah)
I wear it out like a record (yeah)
Tierd eyes an' razor blades,
Tearing through a radio wave,
Don't stop 'coz it's getting tense now

'Coz I'm trying to hold on to something, Yeahh,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things, another way.

We run things another way,
We run things another way,
Get on top 'coz I'm falling (yeah)
I never stop with your calling (yeah)
I shiver now I feel the raise,
I batter time and wasted days,
Don't stop if ya wanna tense now


'Coz I'm trying to hold on to something, Yeahh,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things,
I'm trying to hold on to something, yeah,
'Coz if you let me,
I'll show ya
I'll do it, can ya' hear it?
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things another way,
We run things, another way.

(Then a bit of "Scat-Singing) xD

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna hurt you, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry,
whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

..............

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

. . .


If you wanna get with me
Then you've gotta pin me down
Cover everything you see,
In the sweat that I could drown

Watch it fall and let it die,
The rain will cut you open now
All the words are plagiarised,
They crystallise your tears somehow

If you look like you wann, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I got your number,
Call you when the music is through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do
Girl I've got your number,
Call you when the music is through

If you wanna f*ck with me,
Lord you'll never bring me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown

If you wanna f*ck with me,
Then you gotta get me down
All the things you never see,
In the sweat I could drown

If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if Id do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna, baby I don't
Mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through

[Instrumental:]

If you wanna get with me,
Then you've gotta pin me down
Everything you see's for free,
In the sweat I could drown

If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
If you look like you wanna,
Baby I don't mind if I do, do, do
Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through

Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Girl I've got your number, call you when the
Music is through, through, through
