Sweet Album

Calling all the people
of colour race and creed
no matter what religion
the world's is on its knees
there's never any goodness
war could ever bring
the tactical destruction
of every living thing.
'Cause I'm all right, living the sweetlife
oh, oh, oh, oh, sweetlife
There's a new religion
compassion turns to greed
the cynical decision
too many mouth to feed
finding a solution
try to make a stand
marching down the highway
with a banner in your hand
'Cause I'm all right, living the sweetlife
oh, oh, oh, oh, sweetlife
Calling all the people
of colour race and creed
no matter what religion
the world's is on its knees
now heed the voice of reason
tugging at your soul
like the changing of the seasons
it's out of our control
'Cause I'm all right, living the sweetlife
oh, oh, oh, oh, sweetlife

This time you've gone too far
who do you think you are
sharp words from soft red lips
scratch me with your fingertips
I've learned my lesson and I learned it will
to get to heaven got to go through hell
here I stand with my soul to sell
to you, yeah
Play with fire you'll end up burned
you think by now I should have learned
I said if you wanna someone else
then you can go yourself
I tried so hard but I can't say no
I can't hold back I can't let go
a self destructive one man show
oh
You know I want you, you know I need you
I'd getdown on my knees and pray
you know I want to do what you do
I hang on every word you say
just give me one chance to do a new dance
I swear I'll try and change my ways
and then I do it all over again
do it all over again
Been down this road before
shouldn't do this any more
a voice inside my head says STOP
I search for pleasure but I just found pain
I can't get off this runaway train
so laugh at me while I cry in vain
oh
You know I love you, you know I want you
can you give me one more try
I didn't want to, I didn't mean to
I didn't need to make you cry
and I had to, you what I'd do
I'd take a trip right back in time and then
I'd do it all over again
I'd do it all over again

Life, life without your love
is like a world without the sky above
like a rose needs the sun and the rain
I need your love time and time again
You are everything, everything I ever wanted
you are everything, but in a world without your love
it means nothing, yeah
Gold, held it in my hand
without you I'm a poor rich man
shine your light angel from above
spread your wings fill my world with love
You are everything, everything I ever wanted
you are everything, but in a world without your love
it means nothing
You are everything, everything I need
you are everything, but in a world without your love
it means nothing, yeah

There's no point in feeling sad
about the good times that you've had
But 'til things are gonna move on
It'll only drive you mad
To change your old life
into a new life
life after life
You must believe in something
hold my hand and I'll take you there
rock of ages, sands of time
and love becomes a leap of faith
a leap of faith
It's gonna take a little time
and everything will be just fine
sometimes you've got to move on
to turn the water into wine
To change old life
into a new life
life after life
You must believe in something
hold my hand and I'll take you there
rock of ages, sands of time
and love becomes a leap of faith
a leap of faith

Don't try to bring me down
I can tell by that look in your eye
(Do you know who I think I am)
Don't treat me like a clown
I can see through your thin disguise
(Do you know who I think I am)
You say black and I say white
you say day and I say night
you go left and I go right
all right
I know who you are
I've told you before
you're crazy, crazy
get out of my brain
you know you're insane
you're crazy, crazy
Don't try to put me down
because I wrote every word that you've read
(Do you know who you think you are)
Don't try to sing my song
because I've heard every word that you've said
(Do you know who you think you are)
You say stop and I say go
you say fast and I say slow
you say yes and I say no
let's go
You know you're insane
get out of my brain
you're crazy, crazy
get out of my head
you heard what I said
you're crazy, crazy
You're outof your head
you heard what I said
you're crazy, crazy
you're out of my brain
you drive me insane
you're crazy, crazy
I've told you before
can't take anymore
you're crazy, crazy, crazy

Another rolloercoaster ride from dusk 'til dawn
Another soul ascends as another child is born
Our fate is written in the stars
(Ever and evermore)
We're ruled by Jupiter, Venus and Mars
I wanna live forever
I heard you say
But never say forever
That ain't the way
'Cause I don't wanna live life by design
So never say forever
It's such a long, long time.
Perpetual emotion. take me for your slave
I'm under your command from the cradle to the grave
Into the future with eyes closed
(Ever and evermore)
The road to nowhere where nobody goes
I wanna live forever
I heard you say
But never say forever
That ain't the way
'Cause I don't wanna live life by design
So never say forever
It's such a long, long time.

Annabel was seventeen
Prettirest thing that you've ever seen
worked real hard for a supermarket chain
Then two young dudes in a limousine
said 'You'd look real cute in a magazine'
from that day things would never be the same
She's a kitten on the catwalk
shouting it out loud
strutting with her head up in the clouds
Airheads, living out the dream
in glossy magazines for girls and boys
Airheads, nothing in between
empty boxes making lots of noise
Ok! Hello!
gotta get upI gotta go
Paris, London, Tokio, New York
she was front-page news on the Daily Blah
kiss and tell with a superstar
someone should have told her not to talk
Yesterday she ran away
from the paparazzi lens
is that the way to make new friends
Airheads, living out the dream
in glossy magazines for girls and boys
Airheads, nothing in between
empty boxes making lots of noise
She's young, she's just having fun
so just let it be
she's just a fox on the run
Airheads, living out the dream
in glossy magazines for girls and boys
Airheads, nothing in between
empty boxes making lots of noise

I guess I've had a sweetlife, for thirty years
I've tasted all the good life, Belgian beers
And living in the fast lane, could end in tears
I'm older, but I'm wider.
I wanna do this forever
But I don't know if I should
I think I'm pretty together
So far, so good.
You might have heard some stories, a tale or two
Well just in case you wondered, it's all true
When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find my shoes
Now take that as a warning.
I wanna do this forever
But I don't know if I should
I think I'm pretty together
So far, so good.
I've travelled every nation
I've stopped at every station
Had every invitation
But then came my frustration
The taxman took my money
From the land of milk and honey
But now I think, it's funny
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
Now don't get so excited, it's only Rock'n Roll
Go out and sell your records, but not your soul
No remorse, no regrets
It ain't over 'til it's over.
I wanna do this forever
But I don't know if I should
I think I'm pretty together
So far, so good,
So far, so good.

Are you happy with what you've got
Do you like it cold, do you like it hot
Do you like the way you see yourself
Do you sometimes wish you were someone else
Only a fool would say no
Do you know which direction to go
Are you scared of what you may have done
What you've become
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody wants to be someone, someone
Are you happy with what you earn
Have you got to the point of no return
Do you sometimes wishyou were someone else
When you're looking in the mirror, do you see yourself
I believe every dog has its day
I believe that there's always a way
I believe that my kingdom will come life in the run
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody wants to be someone, someone
Are you happy with what you are
Que sera, sera, sera
It's your life, c'est la vie
What will be, will be, will be
I believe every dog has its day
I believe that there's always a way
I believe that my kingdom will come life in the run
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody wants to be someone
Everybody wants to be someone, someone

White lights, pink noise
Fast cars, brandnew toys
Hot pants, stacked shoes
Long hair and a short fuse
I live in black and white
Then came the light
Now I don't feel afraid of the dark
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
Neon
White lines, black night
Blue day, through the skylight
Feels good, solid ground
Another gig, another town
And with fluorescent eyes
She hypnotized
And you know overnight I'm a star
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
Neon
It was the sweetest thing, and Queen was King
And you know, I was out of my head
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
Neon psychedelia, Neon lightning flash
Neon psychedelia, dream on life's a gas
