The Feeling Album

You were there when the wall came down
A baby king with a grown man’s crown
And we played in the sun as the curtain was crumbling

I was young and I could not see
Said if you go will you please take me
And you told me that I would forget you eventually

I thought it was over but it’s not
I thought it was over but it’s not

I’m spinning in circles I can’t stop
I thought it was over but it's not
I’m in love
With a fool
And you don’t know what you’ve lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it’s not yeah

Another year and the job was done
The old republic was dead and gone
And a new way of living would be a reality

It’s a while since you shut that door
I awake in my sleep no more
Though the nightmare is gone, now I don’t have a dream

I thought it was over but it’s not
I thought it was over but it’s not

Does anybody know?
Oh does anybody know?

I thought it was over but it’s not
I thought it was over but it’s not

I’m in love
With a fool
And you don’t know what you’ve lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it’s not, yeah

Winters come and summers go
Last time round for all we know
Wonder what the time is in London

As they tear this world apart
Step by step it breaks my heart
Wonder what the time is in London

Well I know I'm not the only lonely child
Eighty dead and one teenage gun man
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you

CHORUS
I get up early every morning
(without you)
I open up the blind and I let the dawn in
(without you)
And then I think about growing older
(without you)
And my blood runs a little colder
(without you)

It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)

Tales of screams from giant screens
Full of fear and full of beans
Wonder what the news is in London

Tell me what I've always known
Life is love and love's at home
Wonder if they miss me in London

These are the things that make us glad we're still alive
Even though you heart's in the dungeon
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you

REPEAT CHORUS

It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
na na na na na na na

(without you)
(without you)

It's raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
Yeah! (without you)
It's raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
(without you)

Half past eight and you're late
Coffee's cold, what a state
They've dragged you down
Fate's got you scraped
Work to death
Can't you turn them words around

Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?
[REPEAT]

The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us
Who still believe we can
And it matters what you do
Though they all look down on you
Cos it's better that you've come from nothing
Than nothing comes from you

Come with us, come with us
Join with us, join with us

Don't make a sound
Count your pennies, count your pounds
There's no way out
What will you do when all love gives up on you
Can't turn around

Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?

The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us
Who still believe we can

And it matters what you do
Though they all look down on you
Cos it's better that you've come from nothing
Than nothing comes from you

Come with us, come with us
Join with us, join with us

ring ring beep beep Ah-Ha
ring ring beep beep Ah-ha

We've got a place and it's here for you
Though all we ever wanted was a different view
I never knew somebody live with so much pain
If you open your heart
Come with us and we'll take you away

Come with us, come with us
Join with us, join with us

Oh
Look at you go
You've got the rest in toe
The best thing going
And you know
Look at you go
You come and the highs seem low
The quick seems slow
And you know

Every time that I laugh though I really wanna cry
You know
And every time that I tell you I don't care and I lie
You know

'Cause you've got everything on me
And I've got nothing on you
Yeah and it terrifies me
Tell me what can I do
If you won't play fairly, then spare me

Look at you go
How could I stop you now
Or slow you down
This is your town

And I'll never be
Untruthful to you
Deceitful or cruel
'Cause you'd just see right through
And that's why I can't fool around you

And every time I can't say what I really wanna say
You know
Yes every time just a trace of that look on my face
And you know

'Cause you've got everything on me
And I've got nothing on you
Yeah and it terrifies me
Baby what can I do
If you won't play fairly, then spare me

'Cause you've got everything on me
And I've got nothing on you
Yeah and it terrifies me
Baby what can I do

'Cause you've got everything on me
And I've got nothing on you
Yeah and it terrifies me
Baby what can I do
If you won't play fairly, then spare me

Well I know what you're after
It's a rock and roll disaster
Like you see in the papers
That you read on escalators

Did you smile cos you want it?
Did I put my finger on it?
It's a dream
Till you've lived it
To receive you've got to give it

Don't say anything
You're talking but you don't say anything
You don't do anything
You're moving but you don't do anything

So turn it up
Turn it up
Cos little love just aint enough
Yeah turn it up
Turn it up
There aint nobody want to be alone

Did you notice?
When you walked into the office
With a cup on a plastic tray
All the joys in life that have slipped away
Did you notice?

You don't say anything
You're talking but you don't say anything
You don't do anything
Keep moving but you don't do anything

So turn it up
Turn it up
Cos little love just aint enough
yeah turn it up
Turn it up
And when your heart is sinking like a stone
Aint noone who wants to be alone

You don't say anything
You're talking but you don't say anything
You don't do anything
Keep moving but you don't do anything

So turn it up
Turn it up
Cos little love just aint enough
Yeah turn it up
Turn it up
There aint nobody wants to be alone

So turn it up
Turn it up
Cos little live just aint enough
Yeah turn it up
To big love
And when your heart is sinking like a stone
Ain noone who wants to be alone

Where are your friends
Silly thing
Lost on the Thames
Whispering
What have you done?
There's no smoking gun
How you were shunned
But still you sing

CHORUS

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone
I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone
If sweet harmony
Could spread like a flu
Then all of the world
Would be singing it too
I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone

And what have you done?

All of the good
Sharing it
All of the bad
Bearing it
Nobody cared
No one was spared
Love makes you pay
For everything

REPEAT CHORUS

If you want it
Better use it
Mama said 'Make your own kind of music'
Well it starts with two then three then four
And my poor old heart can't take anymore
I'll never be the same
And that's no shame

I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone
I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone
If sweet harmony
Could spread like the flu
Then all of the world (everyone)
Would be singing it too

Everyone

If sweet harmony
Could spread through to you
Then all of the world
Would be singing it too
I did it for me
I did it for you
I did it for everyone

You say I don't need you
But I don't believe you
Everybody needs everyone, well
Everybody needs someone

All the things that you borrowed
Left you scared of tomorrow
How you ever gonna pay back?
You'll have a heart attack

But every little thing that you gave away
Every little kiss up until today
You're gonna get it back somehow
I thought you wanna know by now

CHORUS

(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Even when you're gone
(won't go away) Your memory will linger on
(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Love will make you strong
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on

If you've ever been lonely
Then you'll know that I'm only
One person from happiness
One person away from happiness

And it may never happen
'Cause I'm never in fashion
And it feels like I'm getting old (getting old)
I feel I'm getting old

But every little thing that I gave away
Every little smile up until today
I'm gonna get it back somehow
I'm gonna get it back right now

REPEAT CHORUS

(won't go away) Yeah yeah
(won't go away)

Now you've left a trace (now you've left a trace)
In hearts and time and space

REPEAT CHORUS

(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Even when you're dead and gone
(won't go away) Your memory will linger on
(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Love will make you strong
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it

Loneliness
ah-ah-ah
Loneliness
What is the point of it?
Loneliness
ah-ah-ah
Loneliness

Right now
I'll take a penny for my thoughts
Right now
I'm overcharging you of course
Right now
But I've a question for you all
Whose idea was it?
What is the point of it?

I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
We don't have to be this way
Please let me stay

Right now
It claps a thunder in my brain
Right now
My head is spinning with the pain
Right now
It's so illogical and strange
Can't get over it
What is the point of it?

I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
We don't have to be this way
Please let me stay

It started out so well
I even tried to take it slowly
But now you're cold as Hell
That old north wind has blown these flames away

Loneliness
ah-ah-ah
Loneliness
What is the point of it?

I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
We don't have to live this way
Please let me stay, oh babe

It started out so well
Yeah! Yeah!
It started out so well
Yeah! Yeah!

Right now

You found a way
To change the world
The simple gift for
Every boy and girl
Always a piece
For everyone
You showed them all that
Giving can be fun
Giving can be fun

CHORUS

Conor
You got the life I want
Conor
I got it all so wrong
You'll never know
Conor
You got the life I want
You got the life I want
You got the life I want
Conor

Those poisoned pills
We passed them round
They made us heavy
Pulled us to the ground
But you were built
From beams of sun
Naive and unaffected by
A world that's come undone
Oh what can be done?

REPEAT CHORUS

Conor
You got the life I want
Conor
I got every thing wrong
You'll never know
Conor
You got the life I want
You got the life I want
You got the life I want
Conor

I wonder what's in your head
Who's in your heart
And who's in your bed
I'm trying, I'm trying to see
What I see in you
And what you see in me
I can't seem to make things meet

But I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
And if my love escapes me this time
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

I'm sorry but what can I say?
I'm paying a price for playing those games
Baby, you turned it on me
And now I can see things I never could see
I just want to make my peace

I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
And if my love escapes me this time
Gonna be alright

I'll be alright
I'm gonna try
Hmmm yeh
Ahh

I'm gonna do it properly this time
Gonna get it right
Gonna get it right
And if my love escapes me this time
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

Well I know where you've been
And I've seen what you've seen
And I've read all the books
On your shelves and in your nooks
Still I don't understand
Though it's there in your hands
Why you beg and you steal
For a love that isn't real

Happiness can find you nowhere
Happiness can find you nowhere

CHORUS

Oh baby, don't make me sad
You're the only one, I ever had
Oh baby, don't make me sad
You're the only love, I ever had
Ever had
Don't make me sad

In a field by a stone
I could sit for days alone
Not a thought for myself
Not my happiness or health
Just the fool that I love
With a push and a shove
It ain't easy to be true
But I do it just for you

Happiness will find us somewhere
Happiness will find us somewhere

REPEAT CHORUS

Do I love?
Yes I love
I think I love
I love you baby

All my days, I've never known it
All my life, I've never known it
I'm not scared to be alone (scared)
And my house feels like a home
I don't care if no one phones
And I don't care a thing about getting grey and old
And I don't care

REPEAT CHORUS

Do I love?
I think I love
Oh yes I love
I love you baby

Do I love?
I think I love
Oh yes I love
I love my baby

It's broken

I don't wanna stay anymore
Yeah I'm getting out that's for sure
But how could I leave her alone
Honey won't you please come along
Let's get out of here
I got no credit on my telephone
I got no money in my jeans but come on

CHORUS

Let's go
Everyone says it's so cool
Who knows, could be us
At the greatest show on earth
I'm told
We're gonna get high and I want to
Let's go
Fall in love
It's the greatest show on earth
It's the greatest show on earth

So take what you need and nothing more
We've got a lot to explore
The fear of the world kept us in
Safe from the dirt and the sin
And yes I'm terrified
'Cause when you're out you know there's no return
But I love you and they're gonna learn

REPEAT CHORUS

I don't wanna be in this house no more
Gotta get out they're boring the hell out of me
Yeah
I don't wanna be in this house no more
I gotta get out of here before it kills me
It's gonna kill me
So come on

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah
Yeah
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Yeah!
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

If you want
We can dance
But I ain’t gonna sit and hold hands
If you want
We can dance
But I don’t know a thing of romance
If you want
We can sing
Baby, fear is a terrible thing
If you want
We can sing
Sing it loud like a telephone ring

And I said
Oh my baby
I am what you make me

So all the kids down in hell party
All the saints up in heaven drink tea
While the dreamers and lovers romance
All the fools on the planet (all the fools on the planet)
All the fools on the planet – like me – on the planet
Just dance

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you want
We can laugh
How I wish I could open my heart
So I sing
Take a chance
Take my first step to freedom and dance

And I said
Oh my baby
I am what you make me

So all the kids down in hell party
And all the saints up in heaven drink tea
And the hopefuls and poets are we
Singing, “How could this happen to me?”
While the dreamers and lovers romance
All the fools on the planet (all the fools on the planet)
All the fools on the planet – like me – on the planet
Just dance

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just dance, just dance, just dance…
