Crystal

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was Summer, now it's Autumn

I don't know what to say
You don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage
with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love you can't beat me
Every man and every woman
(And every woman)
Needs someone
So keep it comin', keep it comin', keep it comin'
keep it comin', keep it comin', keep it comin'

I don't know what to say
you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a ditch
with a girl I betrayed
here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary
You'll never guess the things that I do
I'll have the devil round for tea
Don't you know that I'm here beside you
Can't you see that I can't relax
When I saw you in my rearview
You could've stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

You can take me to an island, ride across the stormy sea
We can worship pagan idols, there together you and me
Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You can drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at 60 miles an hour

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright

(Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow)

Don't take me down
'Cause I'm not done
Don't steal my crown
Before it's won

The wide expanse
The wheel of chance
Will turn my way
The sky will not be gray

I don't wanna be
Like other people are
Don't wanna own a key
Don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work
Like other people do
I wanted to be free
I wanted to be true

Take my hand
And don't let go
Trust this man
And let it flow

I drank at every bar in town
I filled my cup when I was down
Saw the things I wanted to see
Became the man I wanted to be
But then somehow I lost my way
I've got to get back there today

I don't wanna be
Like other people are
Don't wanna own a key
Don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work
Like other people do
I wanted to be free
I wanted to be true

I don't wanna be
Like other people are
Don't wanna own a key
(Take my hand)
Don't wanna wash my car
(Don't let go)
Don't wanna wake at night
Or wait until it's light
I wanted to be free
I thought that I was right

I thought that I was right
I thought that I was right
I thought that I was right

what am i gonna do
i feel like im on fire
if you only knew
that your the object i desire

i keep hanging on i keep hanging on
and i swear by god that your the only one,
i keep hanging on i keep hanging on
and i swear by god that it wont be long,

my aim is true
my vision is clear
my thoughts are crude
whenever your near

i keep hanging on i keep hanging on
and i swear by god that your the only one,
i keep hanging on i keep hanging on
and i swear by god that it wont be long

i keep hanging on

you've got a vicious streak
for someone so young
your like a solar flare
in the rising sun

i keep hanging on x 4

Primitive Notion

It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye

If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I'm doing my best to confound? you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your criticle smile

Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've got a message that I need to send
It's coming to you straight from a friend
I wanted to see what's inside my heart
I wanted to be like it was in the start

Slow Jam

As I look at the morning sky
Today the wind is blowing hard
See that bird is flown too high
Pretty soon it will be tired
I spent a day all by myself
A rich man without his wealth
Sometimes I get it wrong
But I'm not the only one

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
What it is to be alive
And not just to survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

The early evening mists
Look beautiful to me
Was sweeter than a kiss
I wish you all could see
I'm a long long way from home
But this photograph of you
Even though it's monochrome
Tells me what I should do
So I got up on my feet
I knew it would be alright
For my clothes were looking beat
In the middle of the night

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
What it is to be alive
And not just to survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
What it is to be alive
And not just to survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this

Rock The Shack

I've been accused of everything
From Timbuctoo to old Berlin
I need some armor for my flesh
I need to stop and take a rest

I've been wide-eyed but couldn't see
I stand accused of being me

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
When I hear a baby cry
When I see an old man die
That's just the way it is

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

Yeah that's the way it is

I took each day the way it came
I put my future out of frame
The signs were there for all to see
Like blue eyed mind to you and me
My head laid on my beating breast
I swear to you I pass the test
I walked one hundred thousand miles
And you're the judge who's been my trial
Made my trial

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is just a den of vice and sins
And even on the darkest night
We could reach for the light
And we could get it right

Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right
Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
Ten thousand year ago
Crawling on the floor
Well get up Jack
It's time to rock the shack

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

It's time to get up

This can't be real
My heart is burning
How does it feel
Well let's say I'm learning
It had to come
The ship has landed
It's time to run
The crew are stranded

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you could make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
Someone like you, Someone like you, yeah

You're everything to me
The sweetest symphony
All that I try to be
You are my harmony
I guess what I mean to say
Is you keep the wolves at bay
The children on holiday
Here comes the crowd

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
Someone like you, yeah, Someone like you, yeah

Close Range

I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what it's all about
I've seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesn't care, he just wants to score

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

Open hearts, empty spaces
Dusty roads to distant places
But all the time when I'm alone
I think of you and how you've grown

Far and wide, sweet and simple
Jehovah knows that I've been sinful
But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go

I'm not cruel and you're not evil
And we're not like all those stupid people
Who can't decide which book to read
Unless the paper sows the seed

You're the kind of person
that I've always wanted to be with
Well, you're really cool
And you always say the right things to me
Now I'll tell you something
For my heart beats for you deep inside
You'll never be a burden
And my love for you will never die
Never die, never die, never die

If Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go
If Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go

Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
I swear it's getting warmer

Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner

I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna live to get high

Written by New Order

There is a secret place 
Underneath a tree
Where if you go and haste
You will find a key
The key will open doors
And you will look inside
The things that you will see 
Will open up your eyes

At any given time
On every other street
The city comes to life
Though everyone's asleep
A man beats up his wife
He doesn't wanna keep
Behind closed doors
They're in retreat

I don't know what makes me stay
The city life just ain't the same
There's something wrong with kids today
I blame the parents anyway
There's no hope
No one to trust
I can't cope
It's obvious
Please don't take my drugs away
I'm gonna give them up someday

There is a place somewhere
That I could call a home
I'd live without a care
I'd never be alone
One day I will get there
I feel it in my bones
I check upon the scores
I listen to The Coors
Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
They still want more
Behind closed doors
