Do You Want To Break Up?



Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

I've got a heavy heart
Got heart filled full of lead.
Pocket full of heartache
(Car crash in my head).
I've got a steady hand
Gonna lead me to my home.
Take me up to heaven
(Heaven's where I'm goin')...

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

I've seen trouble
I looked right up to its face
Never tried to turn away.
And I've been sad
I've been overjoyed
So let me disembrace you now
My little trouble boy...

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

You took me to the ocean
Dropped me like a stone.
Took me to the deep blue ocean.
I don't wanna stay there baby
I don't wanna swim alone

Yea... oh yea... yea...
Do you want to break-up?

DON'T ASK ME WHY


Miracle of miracles
Look what the night dragged in -
It's a pocket full of misery
And trouble on the wind
You spoiled the best years
Of your life
You took them all in vain
Now you think that you're forgiven
But you can't be born again

And you say
Why?
You say why?
You say why?
Don't ask me why -

I don't love you anymore
I don't think I ever did
And if you ever had
Any kind of love for me
You kept it all so well hid...

Promises sweet promises
You kept them from your mind
Like all the lost forgotten things
You never seemed to find
Like all the disappointments
You displayed upon your shelf
Now you've got no-one to turn to
You've got no-one but yourself

And you say
Why?...

English Summer


Child in the distance
A memory untamed
Family connections
There's a mess in the kitchen
All messages received
Always a quick reply
The mood the afternoon
Another change of light

There's nothing like an English summer

The telephone is good
So wonderful and true
We need the time to think
Everyone's listening
Another change of light
The underlying truth
Request to pack it in
No solutions

For The Love Of Big Brother


Like a train passing in the distance
Black bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the echo
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

First you see my fingerprints
Like skeletons of leaves on the wall
People changing places
I stand for a moment
And it's gone

I still hear the echo
Of your footsteps on the stairs
Still recall the images that
Seem to live out there

Like a train passing in the distance
Black bird in flight
I hear you call
And even though there's no one
Dark shadows move across the wall

I still hear the sound of
Conversations from the hall
Look to see who's coming
But it's nothing
And there's no one there at all
(No one there at all)

[Goga]

Forever


Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever

When we were young
With time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live
For a thousand years
But yesterday is done
And tomorrow’s yet to come
You’ll never know

Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings
With time to kill
But yesterday is done
And tomorrow’s yet to come
You live and learn

Some people never take the time to try
The way you live’s the way you die
The stuff of life’s in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on

Forever
Now that you’re gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

Heaven

That's right...
That's right...

Heaven

I love to

Just what you need

Heaven

Takes a little time

Here Comes That Sinking Feeling



Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
It tangles your head like a winter rose.
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.

Here comes that sinking feeling
(Can't keep it to myself)

Nobody hurts me like you do.
You cut into me like a poison dart.
Creep into my sleep at night.
Break into my dreams and tear them apart.

Here comes that sinking feeling.

Have you ever felt the sound of disappointment?
It pounds in your head like hammer blows.
Comes on gentle and smiling.
And it likes to leave a scar...
Here it comes again no.
Here comes that sinking feeling.

[Goga]

Here Comes The Rain Again



Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

[Goga]

HOW LONG?



It's five o'clock
In the afternoon
Somebody's playing
A sixties tune on the radio

A lazy wind tumbles
Down the street
It shakes the dust up
With the summer heat
Where the people go...

In fancy town
Where nothing's real
They don't consider
What you feel

In fancy town
It's black & white
They close their minds
They say
Wrong is right

How long
Will your love
Hold on
To stay strong enough

In fancy town
The attitude
Could strip you bare
Like frozen food

A ship of fools
In a crazy choir
Is gonna take you home
And light your fire

In fancy town
Where nothing's real
They don't consider
What you feel

In fancy town
It's black & white
They close their minds
They say
Wrong is right

How long
Will your love
Hold on
To stay strong enough

A deck of cards
In perfect black
Like cold cement
On the pavement cracks
Where lovers steal
And beg for time
And doctors sign
On the dotted line...

[Goga]

I've Got A Life



Turn it down so I can’t hear it
Turn it out so I can’t see it
It’s just useless to ignore
We’re going down, you don’t feel it
Turn it round, you don’t mean it and
I can’t stand it anymore

When the whole world sighs
And it’s making you so deflated

I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over (it aint over)
I've got a way
It's the only things that’s mine
All I'm asking for is tenderness
A little tenderness

Ooo it's a cruel place
You never asked to be here
Nobody cares and no one’s gonna help you now (hold on)
It's dog eat dog the human race
The only thing they'll do is hate you (hate you)

Such a crime to be unkind
Turn your cheek pretend you're blind

I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
It aint over
I've got a way
It's the only thing that's mine
All I’m asking for is tenderness
Tenderness

I've got a life
Though it refuses to shine
I've got a life it aint over
It aint over
I've got a way
It's the only thing that's mine
All I’m asking for is tenderness

Be strong now baby
Gotta be strong now baby
Gotta be strong!

I've Got A Lover (Back In Japan)


I've got a lover back in Japan
He's got tatooes
He's my Superman
I try to call him up from time to time
We can talk about the weather
Is the weather fine?

And I say break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break.

I've got a lover
Up in outer space
He's been tumbling around
All over the place
I like to call him from time to time
We can talk about heaven...

Break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...

When the whole world descends on me
I'll be waiting for you...

Got another lover in Timbuktu
Got a name for him
He's my little guru.
When I don't call him he starts to cry
I have to tell him stories just to pacify.

Break, break...

When the whole world descends on me
I'll be waiting for you...

I was bitter when I met you
I was eloquent with rage
Like honey from a poisoned cup
I flowed from stage to stage.
(Ooh... sugar baby... sing me a lullaby.)
Japanese baby...

[Goga]

I've Got An Angel


I've got an angel
Oh I've got an angel
The power of imagination
Goes right to my head
The power of imagination
Goes right to my head
(And I said)
Time is time is time to kill
Time is time is time to kill

[Goga]

I Could Give You (A Mirror)



I Could Give You (A Mirror)

How can you be so cold
With my arms to hold you?
How can you be so cold
With my arms to enfold you?

I could give you - A mirror
To show you - Dissappointments
I could give you - A history
Could you ever listen in to me?

How can you be so cold
When there's a fire burning?
How can you be so cold
When all the ice is melting?

I could give you - A mirror
To show you - Dissappointments
I could give you - A history
Could you ever listen in to me?

[Goga]

I Love You Like A Ball And Chain



Well the sound of your voice on the telephone
Make me feel distressed
Make me all alone.
Why do I feel so incomplete?
When you're not here I'm just obsolete.

My bed is burnin' all through the night.
You're the only one that can make me feel right.
Try to lay down my sleepin' head
But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead.

I love you like a ball and chain.
(Make it alright now.)
Love you like a ball and chain.
(Feels too good.)

I'm a fool I know but I'm stuck on you.
I'm a fool I know and it's makin' me blue.
There's a river of blood.
There's a river of tears
I've been wasting all these years.
