Light switch
Man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night
Fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend

Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me

So we left
Understanding
Cleancut so we're sounding fast
Talked of sad
I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast

Quickly I remembered
Fused and saw a face before
Timing reason
Understanding
Like association whore

. . .


I stand still stepping on a shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
Think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit Red Danger

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transition to another place
So that time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse and your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen, now show me

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

The place is hidden and we're out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answer's nowhere

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

I stand still stepping on a shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
Think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit Red Danger

. . .


When I`m with you baby
I go out of my head
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can`t seem to get enough

We walk together
We`re walking down the street
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
Everytime I think of you
I know we have to meet
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
It`s getting hotter, it`s a burning love
And I just can`t seem to get enough

I just can't get enough (x16)

And when it rains
You`re shining down for me
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
I just can`t get enough
I just can`t get enough
You`re like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can`t seem to get enough.

I just can't get enough (repeat 'til fade)

. . .


All I wanna do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile,
Smiled the way it was before
We'll I try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you.

All I wanna do is see you
Don't you know that it's true.

I remember the days when we walked through
the woods,
We'd sit on a bench for a while.
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes.
You can keep me at a distance if you don't
trust my resistance.
But I swear I won't touch you.

All I wanna do is see you
Don't you know that it's true.

Well I know five years is a long time and that times
change (times change)
But I think that you'll find people are basically
the same (basically the same)

If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do.
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in,
We can relive our youth.

But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you.

IґVE READ MORE THAN A HUNDRED BOOKS
SEEING LOVE MENTIONED MANY THOUSAND TIMES
BUT DESPITE ALL THE PLACES IґVE LOOKED
ITґS STILL NO CLEARER
ITґS JUST NOT ENOUGH
IґM STILL NO NEARER
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
The meaning of love

NOTED DOWN ALL MY OBSERVATIONS
SPENT AN EVENING WATCHING TELEVISION
STILL I COULDNґT SAY WITH PRECISION
KNOW ITґS A FEELING AND IT COMES FROM ABOVE
BUT WHATґS THE MEANING
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me
The meaning of love

FROM THE NOTES THAT IґVE MADE SO FAR
LOVE SEEMS SOMETHING LIKE WANTING A SCAR
WELL I COULD BE WRONG
IґM JUST NOT SURE YOU SEE
IґVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

NEXT I ASKED SEVERAL FRIENDS OF MINE
IF THEY COULD SPARE A FEW MINUTES OF THEIR TIME
THEIR LOOKS SUGGESTED THAT IґVE LOST MY MIND
TELL ME THE ANSWER
MY LORD HIGH ABOVE
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me...

FROM THE NOTES THAT IґVE MADE SO FAR
LOVE SEEMS SOMETHING LIKE WANTING A SCAR
WELL I COULD BE WRONG
IґM JUST NOT SURE YOU SEE
IґVE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

The meaning of love
Tell me
The meaning of love
Tell me...

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself

Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself

All of the absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts
And the uncertainties
That lay in store for us

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself

. . .


There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life
And that's what's appealing
If you decide control my feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one

Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

Let's play master and servant
Come on master and servant

Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life
In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

. . .


I want somebody to share
share the rest of my life
share my innermost thoughts
know my intimate details
someone who'll stand by my side
and give me support
and in return
she'll get my support
she will listen to me
when I want to speak
about the world we live in
and life in general
though my views may be wrong
they may even be perverted
she'll hear me out
and won't easily be converted
to my way of thinking
in fact she'll often disagree
but at the end of it all
she will understand me

I want somebody who cares
for me passionately
with every thought
and with every breath
someone who'll help me see things
in a different light
all the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
to anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to stay clear
out of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
who will put their arms around me
and kiss me tenderly
though things like this make me sick
in a case like this
I'll get away with it

. . .


I'm not going down on my knees begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery and torture for me
When I misunderstood try as hard as you can
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see how important it is for me

Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Understand me
Understand me
Understand me
Understand me

Some people have to be permanently together
Lovers devoted to each other forever
Now I've got things to do and I've said before
That I know you have too when I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Understand me
Understand me
Understand me
Understand me

Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Fame, could estrange effects
Money can estrange effects

I ask myself
Is it as it, be flexible
When all comes in
Open the window and I'll go out to you


Fame, could also cure
Girls can estrange effects too

I ask myself
Is it as it, be flexible
When all comes in
Open the window and I'll go out to you


Your love, for some loves
Your love, cut our hearts

I ask myself
Is it as it, be flexible
When all comes in
Open the window and I'll go out to you

I ask myself
Is it as it, be flexible
When all comes in
Open the window and I'll go out to you

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart!
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe?
If I lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly?
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified:
It's my heart

From the moment I started
I tried to be good-hearted
Yes, I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe?
If I lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly?
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

Hearts can never be owned;
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back, I will take it back
I'll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
There's a lot be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart!
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe?
If I lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly?
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart!
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe?
If I lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight

Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now

Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight

Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)

There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen

Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
