Cupid’s arrow got me spellbound As fast as a rock falling from the sky Thunder and lightning straight into my eyes A pounding heart and butterflies You walk around wearing a crown They bow in awe at your dark gown You little prince charming, charming You lead the field but it leads to nothing And so you led me on You led me on You led me on You led me on… No one said ‘Stop!’ when I jumped in a puddle And black magic turned puddle into pond Some might say I got carried away (They know) the deep end draws The deep end drowns But soon the water will dry And the sun will clear the sky And I was a woman in need A woman indeed And you led me on You led me on You led me on You led me on… So if you do really want me You’ll have to Get off your throne And on your knees boy

What makes her dark days shine under a cold grey sky Rules upon a faraway kingdom beneath the rising sun A golden crown turns her face red in the shadow But she was promised as a chosen bride to the valley below But Jonny She loves you His sapphire eyes keep her in check They go through her like an earthquake Trembles the temple of love Crumbles into the lake A prince will marry a woman earned with a deck of cards A queen is left alone for dead at the graveyard But Jonny She loves you The lonesome queen Sister The lonesome queen Brother The lonesome queen She pays the price The lonesome queen There’s no surprise

You don’t mind if it’s bright You love when it’s dark You don’t care if it’s wet You hate it when it’s dry You feel the walls ‘Cos you don’t know where you’re going You worry so much Your internet keeps crashing Why do you never ever think out loud: ‘I love this life’? You threw your shit in the river And now you fear it will surface again You beat yourself up over things that don’t work You know I suffer You fell asleep in the doctor’s surgery He stuffs you pills that you take for free And now your pain is gone and so are you Why do you never ever think out loud: ‘I love this life’? (solo) Why do you never ever think out loud: ‘I love this life’? Why do you never ever think out loud: ‘I love this life’?

So tonight we are gathered We made a campfire baby It’s been a very, very long time Since we all sat down and chilled So come on... Sing us a song Steve! It’s the end of the summer Daylight is starting to fade We’re not as free as we are tired But we’ve got some things to share So come on... Sing us a song Steve! ‘Cos I’ve got the feeling Your voice is gonna keep us warm Your words they heighten our spirits And your wisdom shines bright

Leaving 03:47
Au début c’est tout un mystère On y croirait presque un petit peu Qu’on pourrait faire notre vie à deux Mais bien souvent on fait la guerre On fait semblant d’être amoureux Et ça devient plutôt douloureux Et comme on n’ose pas faire face Qu’on a sûrement besoin d’espace Qu’on n’est simplement pas heureux On commence à mentir à l’autre Et si on l’aime plus c’est sa faute Et puis ça devient trop coûteux Are you leaving Are you leaving Are you leaving Are you leaving because she’s gone Au début c’était un mystère On y croyait presque un petit peu Qu’on pouvait faire notre vie à deux Mais bien souvent on faisait la guerre On faisait semblant d’être amoureux Et d’être ensemble c’était trop douloureux

Vampire 02:40
I want to be I want to be alone ‘Cos I can’t trust you In my house Don’t want to bleed Don’t want to feel Your hands on my skin And all over my bones You’re rough And you’re forceful Get away from me Sleep of the dead Wake of the zombie I’m not afraid to scream I’d rather it be known You’re twisted, I’m tired Get out of my home

The minute you walk in the door Atmosphere rises My mood crashes down to the floor My body starts shaking This awkward sensation starts taking over me Just like a volcano erupts into the sea I just can’t think straight When you hang around So get out of my face Because you bring me down The roots of my tastes embraced by your curse You took a piece of me Your voice buried under mountains of sound Echoes, echoes, echoes... I just can’t think straight When you hang around So get out of my face Because you bring me down Uh-huh-huh (you bring me down) Uh-huh-huh (you bring me down) I just can’t think straight When you hang around So get out of my face Because you bring me down When you hang around So get out of my face Because you bring me down

I thought I knew the difference between love and lust But I placed my faith into a lover who would never be mine I fell out Because I fell in love with you I went over to the other side I went through I thought I knew what it was like to be honest and fair But I took pride into some things out of pure selfishness I fell out Because I fell in love with you I went over to the other side I went through an open door When I thought I needed a key I saw landslides and all the faces They didn’t look happy to me And I saw all the people I saw them all fall into a big black hole I went through
9.
Bad Guy 03:25
I don't know I don't know why You think that You deserve Another chance Are you losing the plot Get this out of your thoughts Right now He made you hang around Then stuck a sword Right through your chest So dare to shout And scream the hurt Empty your heart Allow to burst Would you at all consider There could very well be A bad guy A bad guy in town So take off your blinkers I know you can see through But love is blind and you lost it all And you know it's time To shake it off Would you at all consider There could very well be A bad guy A bad guy in town

I like the fact I don’t have to tell you I like that you don’t need to know When we’re going to see each other And everywhere I go With you I don’t have to pretend With you it’s all go I don’t need to know what you’re doing Every single minute of the day As long as you let me do my thing And call me when you’re away Baby there’s no need to worry Because, you my dear You make me smile when the sky is grey And I, baby I owe you the world Baby I owe you the world There is nothing to be scared about If we put all the cards on the table So if you promise me to chill out I’ll try and be reasonable And if you promise to be kind I will be the one Who makes you smile when the sky is grey ‘Cos I, baby I owe you the world Baby I owe you the world With you I feel alive and free With you I feel I’m not afraid to be With you I can do whatever I feel Because you… You make me smile when the sky is grey And I, baby I owe you the world Baby I owe you the world Baby I owe you the world Baby you’re the one Baby you’re the one Baby you’re the…

Once upon a time in Dublin City There was this lovely guy I met at a party Well-spoken he was also pretty sweet If I remember well I think his name was Pete So anyway we talked and talked all night And it turned out he was pretty bright And he told me about all the things that he made All the places he’d been to And all the foods that he ate He told me he lived in New York City He told me he went to Tokyo But I kind of freaked out when he said to me ‘Baby, you and me, we’d make a happy family’ No way No way baby And so I ran I ran the hell away And so I ran I ran as fast as I could And then there was this other guy I met Who was pretty pleasant I cannot deny it He asked me for a birthday kiss It was his birthday apparently And I thought ‘Oh yeah, baby’ ‘Cos he was very cute It turned out he called me the next day And we met up for a couple of drinks And I was feeling so frisky That pretty much all night we did some naughty things Oh yeah Oh yeah baby But then I ran I ran the hell away But then I ran I ran as fast as I could

Jessica 06:21
Jessica won’t smile She floats in hell She wears a giant helmet It spins like a carousel She sits in a corner Glued to the world map A glass of whiskey in front of her And no one by her side Jessica won’t smile She landed on her head Her best friend the bottle tied her down to bed She indulges often then glides along a maze Having full-blown conversations with invisible friends And for all I know The only thing she needs is For someone to understand And for all I know The only thing she needs is For someone to hold her hand Jessica won’t smile She has no self-respect And if her head seems full of sand Her body’s become a wreck She’s all alone in the ocean She looks lost at sea She’s holding on to nothing But the shore that she sees afar And for all I know The only thing she needs is For someone to understand And for all I know The only thing she needs is For someone to hold her hand Jessica won’t smile She dug herself a grave Beneath her feet creeps The love that she craves She’s drowning more and more In the shadow She lost track of time She lost her head also
