Growing Pains (UK bonus track)
. . .


We can fight our desires
Ouuhh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ouuhh whether we like it or not.
They say we can love who we trust
Ouuhh but what is love without lost?
Two hours with accurate devotions
Ouuhh and what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

I had my hopes in the moonlight
Ouuhh will they be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long
Ouuhh they'll be waited by this song
Full stops and exclamation marks
Ouuhh my words tumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Ouuhh climb its way across the ocean

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(repeat)

Let's go on to make me
Let's be cool to creating
Up in darkness we can see
And you're not blind from the light from me

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(repeat)

. . .


Tonight out on the streets
I'm gonna follow you
Tell you all about a scene
That you would kill for
You're gonna love what's
Burning right in front of you
But you won't see it
By the light of the sun

Come out, tigerlily
You're caressing me
I'll take you up
I'll turn you on
I'll take your apathy
I wouldn't lie to you, blossom
Won't you let it go?
I'm gonna give you all you want
And don't you know

That you
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

They can sell it all they want
But you cannot agree
I don't like the taste
Of their morality
You'll find your bread and your butter
Where you fake it
And put your face in the gutter
Of a snake pit

But our communication
Is telepathy
What you give is what you get
Out of us naturally
And we can wait 'til the shadow grows long
And turn the page of a story
That has long since found a home

I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

Have you ever felt
Like you're being followed?
Or watched the ones that held your stare?
Turned around to see who's behind you
To find there's no one there?
Lurking in the dark
There's someone who breathes you night and day
There's a friend who wants so much more
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away

And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss

And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

. . .


Ooo-ooo-ooo

I’m the obsessor
Holdin’ your hand
It seems you have forgotten
About your man
Alone in the darkness
My bed's a different land
Your touch intensifies
And I’m in the quicksand

I’m in the quicksand
I’m in the quicksand

You’re the upsettor
Stroking my hand
What’s my position?
I don’t understand
Am I your possession?
Am I in demand?
Oh when you turn to me
I’m in the quicksand

I’m in the quicksand
I’m in the quicksand

You, you moved into my mind again oh
You walking around and free oh
Oh I could let you stay
But I’m walking on broken ground again
Oh, oh when will I learn?
All you do is push me back in the dark

oo-oo-oo-oo

. . .


Been there done that messed around I'm having fun don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let you in again
The messages I tried to send
My information's just not going in

Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away from something more
I'm not turned on to love
Until it's cheap

Been there done that messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time baby
I'll be bulletproof
This time baby
I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when its dead
Do do do your dirty words
Come out to play
When you are hurt?
There's certain things
That should be left unsaid

Tick tick tick tick
On the watch
And life's too short
For me to stop
Oh baby
Your time is running out

I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt

This time baby
I'll be bulletproof x5

This time I'll be
Bulletproof
This time I'll be
Bulletproof

This time baby
I'll be bulletproof x4

. . .


You say it's coming
But I can't see it at all
You know me well
But I don't know you at all
No, I don't know you at all

It's always just on the horizon
So my hopes rise and fall
You know me well
But I don't know you at all
No, I don't know you at all

Early nineties decor
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen

Been dreaming of blue skies
New horizons and sights for my eyes
The discovery of the unknown
Is something to tell the folks back home
I want to get away
To feel the sun on my skin
To feel it really sinking in

Early nineties decor
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be seen

Early nineties decor
It was a day for
We wanted to play
But we had nothing left to play for
Colourless colour
Once in fashion
And soon to be rediscovered

. . .


Your love is like a stubborn youth
That you'd rather deny
I'm walking on a broken roof
But I'm looking at the sky

It's all false love and affection
You don't want me, you just like the attention
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me, you just want the attention

I'm not your toy; this isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy; this isn't another girl-meets-boy

Your love hides in a smoky night
I can never find the truth
Boy, your touches leave me mystified
I wish I could believe you

It's all false love and affection
You don't want me, you just like the attention
Yes, it's all false love and affection
You don't like me, you just want the attention

I'm not your toy; this isn't another girl-meets-boy
I'm not your toy; this isn't another girl-meets-boy

. . .


No wonder I'm scared
To look in your eyes
You've turned me away
So many times
You can take it away
At any given moment
It's hard to believe
While you're in this disguise

So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(I have to cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside me dies
(Something inside of me dies)

No wonder it hurts
To sit by your side
(Turned me away so many times)
There's a different song
I can play you tonight
(We don't have to sit here in silence)
We can break the pattern
We can change the colour
(It's just a little sacrifice)
You don't need to worry about the others
(It's all in your mind)

So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
I'm just surviving
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
Stop me from crying

When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(I have to cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside me dies
(Something inside of me dies)

. . .


Emerging from my world
Imagine living in a box
And I won't come out
Until I've broken all the locks

Slurring all my words
Until something sticks
But in this smoky universe
My mind keeps playing tricks

And although
You're the only home I know
As if by magic
Thoughts of you are gone
And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds
And it's not so tragic
If I don't look down

Submerging from your world
And back into my bliss
A day rolled into one
Is burning on my lips
Blurring all your words
Until they don't exist
And in a parallel universe
It's me you can't resist

And although
You're the only home I know
As if by magic
Thoughts of you are gone
And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds
And it's not so tragic
If I don't look down

You say I'm a rose tinted lover, come on
You know I'll never love another
I won't stay a lonely lover for long

. . .


It's been 7 hours long
And your shadow still hangs on
You've been 2 weeks gone
And so tonight I followed you home

There are so many different ways of collecting the strays
The ones that got away

Old fascinations
We crave new sensations
Old fascination is feeding my frustration
It's feeding my frustrations
And I haven't got the patience

These sheets are still warm
This bed is our only home
We make arrangements over the phone
Where has all the conversation gone?

There are so many different ways of collecting the strays
The ones that got away

Old fascinations
We crave new sensations
Old fascination is feeding my frustration
It's feeding my frustrations
And I haven't got the patience

Frustrations
Sensations
And fascinations
And fascinations
Frustrations
Sensations
And fascinations
And fascinations

. . .


Please
Please be my light-filter
Shine, make me a shelter
To hide, 'cause love makes you lose your sight
And now the search party's on its way
And the floodlights on my face
All the shadows that I walk in
Arch my volatile second skin

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready, come into the light

Lines
Design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find
Although I really tried
Only time is a lover's guide
And now the railings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you're ready, come into the light

My reflections are protection
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you leave me, I'll go back to hide

. . .


You pull on your Armour
And put up defences
Why do you want to?
Because I'm here to protect you
So take it easy
I'll make it so easy
You can lay your head down
And we'll leave it til tomorrow
You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

When your life is tangled
You wear your disguises
But why do you need to
When I'm standing here beside you?

You can lay your head down
And we'll leave it til tomorrow

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

Slipping through my fingers
And into another's
Tell me why won't you turn back?

You seem to believe you belong to somebody else
(You know what it's like you shouldn't have to be told)
When you leave me alone in this world
You know that I'm in hell
(It's hard enough when you're alone in the world)
When you know what it's like
To be lonely and by yourself

. . .


My heart, it melts like plastic
I fell through the hole yesterday
Your smile pulled me in like elastic
I felt my mind detonate

Oh, I make mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains

We broke in two like a matchstick
It burns in my soul every day
Every day
Your world was to me so fantastic
And hell seemed so far away
Far away

Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You tell me it's just growing pains
And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains

The truth, it feels like concrete
I drove into its walls yesterday
I wish I could be realistic
But like children
My dreams run away

I know I've made mistakes
You say it's growing pains
And when I feel ashamed
You say it's growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You say it's growing pains
I know I made mistakes
And I know it's growing pains

Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's growing pains
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes, I know it's growing pains
