Sweetheart
I'm changing my role in life,
I'm not re-arranging the main things in my life.
I ain't sacrificing what I hold as true,
I ain't sacrificing, sweetheart even for you.

Sweetheart? I'm changing my mode of life,
I'm not re-arranging the main things in my life.
I'm not giving up now in mixed company.
I'll be holding on now looking to find my identity.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
It doesn't matter to you anyhow.

Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
And did it matter so much anyhow.

Sweetheart
I'm changing my role in life,
I ain't re-arranging the main things in my life.
I ain't sacrificing what I hold as true,
I ain't sacrificing, sweetheart even for you.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
And did it matter so much anyhow.

Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.

Intrigue? surrounding me
Intrigue? surrounding you
I was only looking for a bit of harmony and grace,
I swear I only meant it in good faith.

In league? enfolding you
Fatigue? I feel it, too.
I guess I never thought I had a thing or two to lose,
I never thought I'd end up as good news.

Believe in what you hear.
Concede to what you fear.
And if you think that I have so much love to go to waste,

Cut out the running home, make the pace.

Intrigue? surrounding me? you
Intrigue? surrounding you? me
I was only looking for a bit of harmony and grace,
I swear I only meant it in good faith.

And if you think that I have so much love to go to waste,
Cut out the running home, make the pace.

Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.
Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.

Light is slanting sideways
Sun is getting through.
Gonna take a taxi
Gotta get to you!

Easy in the city,
Easy in the rooms.
Isn't it a pity
Time goes by so soon...
Time goes by so soon.

If I can find the secret in the green
I'll let you know.
And if you seek a treasure made of silver

You can go... go

Easy in the city,
Easy in the rooms.
Isn't it a pity
Time goes by so soon...
Time goes by so soon.

If I can find the secret in the green
I'll let you know.
And if you seek a treasure made of silver
You can go... go.

Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind.

Easy in the city,
Easy in the mind

I should have known
You were a strange one.
You should have said
That you don't like to love.
But you never told me no lies.
Don't have to apologise.
When everything's said and done,
I was the strange one.

I should have known
You were a strange one.
You should have said
I don't want to love.
But I never told you no lies.
I don't want to apologise,
When everything's said and done,

What can I do?
That boy's in love with you.

I should have seen it coming,
I should have known what to expect.
I could be off and running,
Looking for my respect.
You don't need to criticise,
You never did realise,
When everything's said and done,
You were a strange one.

You were a strange one.
You were a strange one.
You were a strange one

I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time.
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.
Tenderness,
Tenderness.

It's funny how romance fails us, giving way to love.
You look around, feel your freedom? you're a slave to love.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.
Tenderness? spirit moves me
Tenderness? try to show me
Tenderness? come on show me
Tenderness? feelings grow and change.

I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time.
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine.

Night is dark, night is cold,
Passion lies down to die.

Tenderness? really moves me
Tenderness? try to show me
Tenderness? come on show me
Tenderness? feelings grow and change.

Don't think that because I don't know what's happening
That I ain't achin'...
I never thought you would be showin'
Just what you been takin'.
It's not as simple as that
Don't think I don't know just when my heart's breakin'?

I ain't chosen? I ain't chosen
I ain't chosen? chosen? chosen? chosen? chosen.

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake?

My heart's achin' 'cause I can't ignore you,
My heart's breakin' 'cause I can't reward you
What can I do?
'cause you stepped inside my soul

Feel like you're dyin' for beautie's sake
Say that you're lyin' for beautie's sake
Who cares what you're feeling?
You've lost and you're dealing for beautie's sake.

In your circle you hold supreme sway,
Can you imagine not getting your own way?
What can I do
'cause you stepped inside my soul?

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake?

My heart's achin' 'cause I can't ignore you
My heart's breakin' 'cause I can't reward you.
What can I do?
'cause you stepped inside my soul.

You stand astride the city takin' it all in
Lyin' before the fire admiring your own skin
Beautiful and dumb? avarice and then some
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
'cause you stepped inside my soul?

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake?

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you fakin' for beautie's sake?

What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you fakin' for beautie's sake?

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Treading the waves,
Come in from harm.
How could you regret your other words...
Hoping for thrills? free as a bird...

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

There's a knock at the door,
I get up? let you in.
Travelled and stained,
Soaked to the skin.

Welcome my darling, you got here at last...
Come and sit by the fire? forget what's past.

So sad, so sad,
So sad, so sad.

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Looking back, looking forward,
Flying up, flying down?
What have you found?

So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad

I know you're out there having a good time.
Spaced out chicks, love potions and good wine.
Don't make me laugh, you're not in there alone,
There's other people's voices in the room.

Don't hang up? I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication? always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say?
No eye communication always happens that way.

I know I shouldn't let it happen,
There's no excuse? I felt so alone.
You know how it is, our lure was meant to trap them?
And then they find some poison of their own.

Don't hang up? I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication? always happens this way.

How can I say what I mean, mean what I say?
No eye communication always happens...

"tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"

Don't hang up? I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication? always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say?
No eye communication always happens that way.

Don't hang up? I didn't mean it that way,
No eye communication? always happens this way.
How can I say what I mean, mean what I say?
No eye communication always happens that way

Where did it go to my youth,
Where did it fade away to?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth we didn't want to know?

What is it? do you know?
What is it? can I bear it?
Who did it? do I care?
Who is it? when did it happen and where?

Why did you let me know,
How could you think I'd stand it?
You knew I'd pay you back,
I did it, and it happened? do you care?

Where did it go to, my youth?
Where did it fade away to?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth we didn't want to know?

Who is he? do you know?
This man of power but a fool.
They said he was so high and pure,
They also said that he was cruel.

They killed him, did you see?
They knew he couldn't take it.
They wanted lies? he said the truth.

They did it? and it happened? who cares?

Where did it go to, my youth?
Where did it slip away to?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth they didn't want to know?

Why did you let me know,
How could you think I'd stand it?
You knew I'd pay you back.
I did it, and it happened? do you care?

What is it? do you know?
Who did it? can I bear it?
Who did it? do I care?
Who is it? when did it happen and where?

What is it? do you know?
Who did it? can I bear it?
Who did it? do I care?
Who is it? when did it happen and where?

Where did it go to, my youth?
Where did it slip away to?
Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth,
The truth I didn't want to know?
