Forbidden City

There's not a hope
When you're in this kind of mood
Too much to drink
But not enough to lose
You tore me apart
Now I've got to suffer
I wish I'd been around
When you started this

Give me a chance
I'll show you what I could do
You're in a trance
And I'm not so fond of you
You may be a friend
But not my relation
You're the only person I ever knew

And it's too late to wash my hands
Caught in a trap set for a man

There is a wind
That blows in the northern sky
Holding me back
No matter how hard I try
If I had the strength
I'd leave here tomorrow
I wouldn't even bother to say goodbye
But it's too late to wash my hands
Caught in a trap set for a man

Would you lie to me
You thought I was wrong
You deserted me

Would you lie to me
You thought I was wrong
You deserted me
When it all went wrong
Would you lie to me

Would you lie to me
You thought I was wrong
You deserted me
When it all went wrong

And it's too late to wash my hands
Caught in a trap set for a man

For You

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll lead the climb crystal and fine
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

Stay with me
In this foreign land
Just enough for me
To make you understand

You could be
My guiding light
The darkest of them all
You'd be the rise before my fall

And yet we both get along fine
Better than most
Some of the time

When I'm with you
I am on fie
You are the fuel
And my desire

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll lead the climb crystal and fine
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

Why do you bring
What I can't possess
You always ask for more
Until there's nothing left

These hollow words
Make a wrong arrest
They beat upon my door
A spirit haunts it for ever more

But I still hope
And sometimes I pray
It won't be hard
We'll find a way

Color my dream
Show me I'm real
Turn on the light
Then let me feel

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll lead the climb crystal and fine
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

Dark Angel

You don't want me
But I don't care
I'm independent, when (and) there's no one there
I'm not a substitute and it's wearing thin
Why can't you see that I won't give in

There's a rumor
How can it be true
The way that people talk
It's as if they knew
(but if they only knew)
And thought I try
I hope you understand
If I'm alone with you
It could get out of hand

Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late
Love comes too late

I believe it was meant to be
But when you threw me out
I guess it made me see
It could be a drag
From my point of view
But that's the kind of thing
That I expect from you

What can I do I'll never be the same
Another day without you
Would drive me insane
It's a real life drama
That I can't work out
Don't think about it
Let me take you out

Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late
Love comes too late

One Day

We're in danger, so I'm told
It's the end of time and the world is old
You meet a stranger you don't want to see
Dance to the sound
Of his pen making history

One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place
Undercover
Licensed to be wrong

One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place
And discover

I'm not ashamed to tell you
But you know it's over
Naked is the beauty
Crying on my shoulder

It's hard to face rejection
What use to be affection
I thought was my duty
Like I was a soldier

I'd like to pay you but my funds are thin
I'm so in move with my shirt
But I'll throw it in
Why can't you
Understand what I'm going through
It's a bad situation what can I do

You know that
On day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place undercover
Licensed to be wrong
One day and it won't be long
We'll stand in this place
And discover

I'm not ashamed to tell you
But you know it's over
Naked is the beauty
Crying on my shoulder

It's hard to face rejection
What use to be affection
I thought was my duty
Like I was a soldier

One day and it won't be long

Until The End Of Time

Not a trace of emotion
Remains inside
Two hearts broken
Lay (set) down by the river side
Single handed
They tried to escape from me (you see)
With a turn of the wheel
It was driving me

Crazy .....

This love was born instead of hate
Celebrate our love
Let me feel the right vibration
Celebrate our love
And until the end of time
Celebrate what's mine
Make it good and let it shine
Celebrate our love

Revelation or faith
I just can't decide
Will they drown
In the flow (pull) of the rising tide
There's a side of your life
That you never see
It is real this ordeal
And it's driving me

Crazy ...

Second Nature

I use to think that I was lonely
When I was a young boy
Doing what they told me
(Living rather coldly)
Too many lessons in the school class
Stated my allegiance
Mixing with the wrong class

I lived at home with all my family
Even had my own key
It was given to me
(Parents listened to me)
Allowed to be alone
(Then left me alone)
There was never any friction
Starring in my own film
(A starring role in my film)
It was my addiction
(It was science fiction)

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
It's there in your face
But it won't stay for long
Let's be a nation
And sit upon a throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

The older boys were rather surly
Living in the wrong place
Made me grow up early
But it was my home
As I complete my own existence
Staring at my own life
(I look at the old one)
Fading in the distance
Down a semitone

Smiling faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Unemployed forever watch TV at home

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
It's there in your face
But it won't stay for long
Let's be a nation
And sit upon a throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

If You Got Love

You are the only one I need
And you mean everything to me
I can't get you out of my mind
You've got the face I want to see
(Yours is a)
Your never in when I'm around
(I come round)
When I turn up you turn (tie) me down
If you lie to me I believe you
Yes I have to believe you

Stop if you've got love
Take all your faith and make it good
Bow down surrender
Follow love
And make it yours
For ever more
Why don't you
Stop if you've got love
Don't lose this race it's just too good
I hope it's me you're thinking of
Because I feel the need

You never know what's going on
But you tell me that I am wrong
If it was up to me I would leave you
But it isn't, I believe you

I would do anything I could
Just to make sure you understood
(It seems to me you understood)
That I wouldn't ever deceive you
Though I'd want to, I could not do

Out Of My League

I'm always late
But I caught you in time
To escape from the scene of the crime
Louder than cymbals
All out or rhyme
I give up 'cos I don't know the time

I can't decide
Won't let you rescue my pride
Tell me the truth
I have a picture of you
You have a picture of me

We could steal away in the night
Or catch the earliest flight
We've fallen in
So let's swim

You're out of my league
But I'm depending on you
You're all that I need
So why don't you say it's true
You're out of my league

Like a picture hung on a wall
Not a word to speak
Lost for a cause
You could give me so many things
But without your love
All of it stinks

My only crime
Is the state of my mind
On loan to you
I've got a picture of you
You have a picture of me

We could steal away in the night
Or catch the very first flight
We've fallen in
So let's swim

You're out of my league
But I'm depending on you
You're all that I need
So why don't you say it's true
You're out of my league

Free Fall

Close you lips
We shouldn't speak of this
I'm not the first person to know
It's only me
Out in the cold

Let me feel joy
I really need it
rush in my blood
I want to feel it
And I'm sure
When it's begun
One into two
Always leaves one

Look at the rain
Look at it falling
Into my world
Why are you calling
Won't you come home
I will not hurt you
Will not deserve you
Will not desert you
Look at the rain

Can't you see
you were so indiscreet
Stole all the change off me
How could I know that you would cheat?
Is it what I've done,
I could be, I could become?
I don't need someone else
This is me, beside myself

Look at the rain
Look at it falling
Into my world
Why are you calling
Won't you come home
I will not hurt you
Will not deserve you
Will not desert you
Look at the rain

Visit Me

Early morning
With a sigh
She opens both her eyes
Praying for a safe return
Lost in the darkest night
This day the jury has adjourned
Her love has taken flight

She is coming home
To visit me tonight
She is coming home
To visit me tonight

Come to me and see my endeavor
Like a leaf she falls to the ground
In the dust that gathers forever
We are spirits
Making no sound
(That make no sound)
(We make no sound)

She is coming home
To visit me tonight
She is coming home
To visit me tonight

Taken from the arms of another
Woken from the deepest dream
(How can I wake her from the deepest of dreams)
Patiently she waits for her lover
Perhaps her life is not what it seems

How Long

I'd satisfy your every wish
But I can't be a part of this
You'll never forgive me
But what do I care
I'd like to stay but it can't be me
It's kind of juvenile of me
There's something I'm missing
Why can't we agree

I hear this sound
For a thousand years
Such a sad song
It's goes forever on

And though I try to change my mind
So much of you I can't define
Whenever You're near me
Whatever you do
I fall apart if you're not there
I couldn't leave I wouldn't dare
You're always within me
Whatever you do

I hear this sound
For a thousand years
Such a sad song
It's goes forever on

I lied to you it was a sin
So please forgive me once again
I'll never betray you
As long as you're there

I hear this sound
For a thousand years
Such a sad song
It's goes forever on

Time Can Tell

Your voice is breaking up
Get off the phone
Come and see me
These times are hard enough
To be alone
I want you within me

And much to my regret
It's you I can't forget
Tears on your shoulder
Don't go too far
Surrender me unharmed
Then come to me

Will we still be together
In a year from now
Or do we hate each other
We're gonna get through somehow
Has it turned the world into a nightmare
Will it be farewell
Only time can tell

You'd make the angels wait
And stop the sun
If I let you
What good is two when it's reduced (to) by one
How do you value your love
(What is the value of love)

You'd better save your breath
Give us both a rest
Until tomorrow
The second you want me
You know I'll come
You are the one

Will we still be together
In a year from now
Or do we hate each other
We're gonna get through somehow
Has it turned the world into a nightmare
Will it be farewell
Only time can tell
