VISIONS OF PARADISE
===================
DON'T TELL ME WHEN SOMETHING IS BEAUTIFUL
AND DON'T TELL ME HOW TO TALK TO MY FRIENDS
JUST TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE STARS IN THE SKY
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SONG
TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE LOVERS YOU HAD
BEFORE I CAME ALONG
DON'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
AND DON'T HOLD ME TIGHT
'CAUSE I COULD GET USED TO YOUR VISION OF PARADISE
AND DON'T ASK ME WHERE ALL OF THE PAIN GOES
'CAUSE YOU MAKE ME FEEL THAT I DON'T KNOW MYSELF
YOU SAY THAT YOU WANT ME FOREVER AND I
I SAY THAT LOVE IS NO CRIME
SO TELL ME THE NAMES OF THE CHILDREN WE'LL HAVE
AT THE END OF THE LINE
SO DON'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
AND DON'T HOLD ME TIGHT
'CAUSE I COULD GET USED TO YOUR VISION OF PARADISE
AND DON'T LET ME NEAR THE GARDEN
OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
'CAUSE I COULD GET USED TO YOUR VISION OF PARADISE
OF PARADISE
OF PARADISE
JUST USE YOUR HEART NOT YOUR HEAD
WHILE I FALL APART IN MY BED
I FIND MYSELF ACHING FOR YOU
I FEEL MYSELF BREAKING IN TWO
SO DON'T TELL ME WHEN I SHOULD COME ON HOME
THERE MIGHT BE A TIME YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND
SO DON'T BUILD YOUR WORLD AROUND ME
AND DON'T HOLD ME TIGHT
'CAUSE I COULD GET USED TO YOUR VISION OF PARADISE

JOY
===
OH JOY LOVE YOU BRING
OH JOY MAKE MY HEART SING
AND I DROVE ACROSS THE DESERT
I WAS IN MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
I WAS LOOKING FOR THE BUDDHA
AND I SAW JESUS CHRIST
HE SMILED AND SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS
AND LIT A CIGARETTE
SAID JUMP FOR JOY
MAKE SOME NOISE
REMEMBER WHAT I SAID
MY SOUL IS A LIKE A RUBY
AND I THREW IT IN THE EARTH
BUT NOW MY HANDS ARE BLEEDING
FROM SCRABBLING IN THE DIRT
AND I LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS
AND A LIGHT IS ON MY FACE
I NEVER NEVER NEVER
THOUGHT I'D FIND A STATE OF GRACE
HEY JOY
LOVE YOU BRING
OH JOY
MAKE MY HEART SING
OH JOY
JOY IN EVERYTHING
JOY JOY JOY OH JOY
JOY JOY JOY OH JOY
I WAS DROWNING IN THE DARKNESS
AS I DROVE DOWN TO THE SEA
JOY JOY JOY OH JOY
AND I LOOKED UP TO THE MOUNTAIN
AND THE LIGHT BURST OVER ME
JOY JOY JOY OH OH JOY
YOU MAKE ME SING
OH JOY
THE LOVE YOU BRING
YOU MAKE ME SING
OH JOY
IN EVERYTHING
IN EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING
JUMP FOR JOY
JUMP FOR JOY
JUMP FOR JOY
========================
DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT
========================
I WAS TOSSING AND A TURNING
LIKE A SHIP OUT IN A STORM
AND I COULD NOT FEEL THE SPIRIT
THERE WAS NOTHING THERE AT ALL
AND I COULD NOT DIAL THE NUMBER
AND I COULD NOT MAKE THE CALL
DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT
DANCING IN THE STRANGEST FORMS
AND I COULD NOT FEEL THE SPIRIT
WAS A THOUSAND MILES OFF COURSE
STUMBLING IN THE TWILIGHT
THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT ALL
I WAS GROPING IN THE DARKNESS
SEEING DANGERS IN THE PORT
TORTURED INTO SILENCE
MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL
DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT
SWIRLING IN THE WALLS
JUST LIKE VENUS ON THE OCEAN
THE FIGURES ON THE WALL
IF YOU DON'T TAKE RISKS
IF YOU DON'T TAKE A CHANCE
YOU'RE BOUND TO FALL
OH YEAH SUGAR
YOU WILL SURELY FALL
CRYIN' FOR SALVATION
THERE WAS NOTHING THERE AT ALL
I COULD NOT DIAL THE NUMBER
AND I COULD NOT MAKE THE CALL
DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT
THE FIGURES ON THE WALL
YOU WILL SURELY FALL
DANCING IN THE STARLIGHT
YOU WILL SURELY FALL
YOU WILL SURELY FALL
======================
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING
======================
YOU CAN SEE IT IN A CLEAR BLUE SKY
YOU CAN SEE IT IN A WOMAN'S EYES
YOU CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR BABIES CRIES
YOU CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR LOVER'S SIGHS
YOU CAN TOUCH IT IN A GRAIN OF SAND
YEAH HOLD IT RIGHT THERE
IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
FEEL IT ROUND YOU EVERYDAY
AND HEAR WHAT I'VE GOT TO SAY
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT
COME ON
I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT
COME ON
I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
I SAW IT IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN
AND I FELT IT IN THE RACE I WON
AND I HEAR IT IN THE WINDY STORM
AND I FEEL IT IN THE ICY DAWN
AND I SMELL IT THE WINE I TASTE
AND I SEE IT IN MY FATHER'S FACE
AND I HEAR IT IN A SYMPHONY
AND I FEEL IT IN THE LOVE YOU SHOW FOR ME
YEAH
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT
OH COME ON
I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT
COME ON
I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
GOD GAVE ME EVERYTHING I WANT
I CAN'T STOP CAN'T STOP
I'M STILL LOOKING NOW
GOD GAVE ME EVERTHING I WANT
OH COME ON
I'LL GIVE IT ALL TO YOU
CRAZY YOU SAID
IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD
CHORUS
=========
HIDE AWAY
=========
HIDE AWAY HIDE AWAY
MAKE SURE THAT I NEVER COME BACK
DISAPPEAR AND I NEVER COME BACK
I'M GONNA PACK UP ALL MY BAGS
VANISH WHILE I CAN
GONNA LEAVE THIS TOWN BEHIND
PAY IT ALL NO MIND
I'M GONNA FLY AWAY
AND NO ONE'S GONNA FIND ME
KEEP MY DESTINATION QUIET
TAKE AN EARLY MORNING FLIGHT
NEVER TELL A SOUL
JUST LIGHT OUT ON MY OWN
I'M GONNA FLY AWAY
AND NO ONE'S GONNA FIND ME
I'M GONNA WEAR SOME FAKE DISGUISE
CHANGE THE COLOUR OF MY EYES
YES I'M GOING HIDE AWAY
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE SURPRISED
I'LL BE WISE BEFORE MY TIME
I'M GOING HIDE AWAY
MAKE SURE THAT I NEVER COME BACK
DISAPPEAR AND I NEVER COME BACK
MAKE SURE THAT I NEVER COME BACK
DISAPPEAR AND I NEVER COME BACK
I'M GONNA RENT A SMALL HOTEL
THROW AWAY MY CELL
CUT OFF ALL MY HAIR
SWEEP AWAY MY CARES
I'M GONNA FLY AWAY
AND NO ONE'S EVER GONNA FIND ME
I'M OUT OF EVERYBODY'S REACH
OUT ON SOME TWISTED BEACH
I'M GONNA HIDE AWAY
DISSOLVE RIGHT OUT THIS SCENE
OUT OF EVERYBODY'S DREAMS
I'M GONNA HIDE AWAY
HIDE AWAY
MAKE SURE THAT I NEVER COME BACK
DISAPPEAR WHEN I NEVER COME BACK
MAKE SURE THAT I NEVER COME BACK
DISAPPEAR WHEN I NEVER COME BACK
================
DON'T CALL ME UP
================
I WAS TRYING TO FORGET YOU
BUT YOU WON'T TELL ME HOW
LATELY I'M FINDING IT TRICKY
WITH YOUR PICTURE PLASTERED ALL OVER TOWN
FRIENDS PICK YOU UP IN CONVERSATION
JUST TO SEE HOW I'LL REACT
I GET THESE INTERNAL LACERATIONS
THAT JACK ME UP AND LAY ME OUT FLAT
BUT I CAN'T THROW MY LIFE AWAY
I CAN'T GIVE THE GAME AWAY
YOU JUST WANDERED OFF THE STAGE
AND LEFT ME DEALING WITH THE PAIN
SO DON'T CALL ME UP
OH WHEN YOU WANNA CRY
'COS I MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
DON'T CALL ME UP
ON SOME RAINY NIGHT
'COS I MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
LET YOU DOWN
PEOPLE ASK HAVE YOU SEEN HER
I SAY NOT FOR A WHILE
I'M GONNA SEE MY GIRLFRIEND WAY DOWN IN ARGENTINA
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST FOR A WHILE
BUT I SEE YOU IN MY INNER EYE
TOUCH ME WITH A GENTLE SMILE
WONDER IF YOU CATCH MY MOOD
CAN YOU FEEL MY SOLITUDE
SO DON'T CALL ME UP
WHEN YOU WANNA CRY
'COS I MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
DON'T CALL ME UP
WHEN SOME OTHER GUY
HANGS YOUR HEARTSTRINGS OUT TO DRY
AS THE WAVES CRASH AROUND
AND THE STARS HIT THE GROUND
I'LL BE OUT OF MY MIND ONCE AGAIN
AS THE RAIN LASHES DOWN
AND THE STARS CAN'T BE FOUND
I WILL HOLD MY HEAD HIGH
AND JUST GAZE AT THE SKY
I WAS UNDER YOUR SPELL
AND YOU TOOK ME TO HELL
DON'T CALL ME UP
IF YOU WANNA CRY
I MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
DON'T CALL ME UP
IF YOU WANT SOME LIE
I MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
MIGHT LET YOU DOWN
I WAS TRYING TO FORGET YOU
YEAH
BUT YOU WON'T TELL ME HOW
NOW YOU'RE OUT ALL OVER TOWN
YOU'RE PLASTERED ALL OVER TOWN
PLASTERED ALL OVER TOWN
======================
GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
======================
DEMONS IN THE BEDROOM
DOGS ARE ON THE ROOF
I AM IN THE BASEMENT
LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH
TIRED OF BEING PATIENT
FOR THE VOICE TO COME
IF YOU WANT THE ANSWER
THERE IS ONLY ONE - ONLY ONE
HER FLESH IS SMOOTH AND SUPPLE
AND VELVET AS THE NIGHT
HER EYES ARE SHOT WITH DIAMONDS
A MOUTH FULL OF DELIGHT
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
ASKING HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HEADING MY WAY
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
DEMONS IN THE BEDROOM
DOGS ARE ON THE LOOSE
DRIVING IN THE BACKSTREETS
LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH
I'M SEARCHING FOR YOUR TEMPLE
HUNTING FOR YOUR SHRINE
I'M LOOKING FOR A VISION
BY A NEON SIGN
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
ASKING HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HEADING MY WAY
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
AND HER TEARS FLOW LIKE A FOUNTAIN
LIKE A RIVER FROM THE MOUNTAIN
HOW MUCH
HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE
HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
ASKING HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S HEADING MY WAY
THERE'S A GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY
==========

HERE COMES THE WRITER
HE'S GOT THE SCRIPT RIGHT IN HIS HAND

EVERYBODY GETTING HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH
AND I SIT AND WONDER WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

EVERYBODY GETTING HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH

GUN
===
YOUR FRIENDS WILL SAY ITS SELF DEFENCE
WITH NO HOPE OF RECOMPENSE
AND ANYWAY IT MAKES NO SENSE
THE WAY YOU HURT ME BABY
YOU ALWAYS TURN THE OTHER CHEEK
ALWAYS ACTED MILD AND MEEK
YA, ALWAYS PLAYED ME FOR A GEEK
THE WAY YOU DRESSED TO KILL
WHY DON'T JUST GET A GUN AND SHOOT IT
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
AND SHOOT IT THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
YOU TRIED TO STRECH ME ON THE RACK
I SAW YOU LAUGHING WHEN I CRACKED
YOU BROKE MY WILL YOU BROKE MY BACK
ON THE WHEEL OF UNCERTAINTY
YOU TRIED TO PUSH ME TO THE EDGE
YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN WHEN I BEGGED
WHY DON'T YOU PUSH ME OFF THE LEDGE
IT'S JUST TORTURE BABY
WHY DON'T JUST GET A GUN AND SHOOT IT
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
AND SHOOT IT THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY A GUN
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY A GUN AND SHOOT IT
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY A GUN
YOU FRIENDS WILL SAY IT'S SELF DEFENCE
THEY SAY IT'S CHEAP AND NO EXPENSE
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN AND USE IT
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET A GUN
AND SHOOT IT THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
THROUGH THIS HEART OF MINE
============
TOO FAR GONE
============
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN NOW
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN NOW
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN NOW
I ALWAYS HATE NOSTALGIA
LIVING IN THE PAST
NO USE GETTING MISTY EYED
IT ALL SCREAMED BY SO FAST
WHEN LIFE WAS SO MUCH CALMER
SEVERLY BUTTONED UP
THE FUTURE RICH IN PROMISES
MILK FLOWING FROM THE CUP
I WOULD SPEND THOSE LAZY DAYS
LYING ON A RIDGE
WATCHING GIRLS IN COTTON DRESSES
DIVING OFF THE BRIDGE
IS IT TOO FAR GONE
IS IT TOO FAR GONE
IS IT TOO TOO FAR GONE
TOO FAR GONE
THIS WAS ONCE THE COUNTRY
NOW IT'S ALL THE TOWN
WHAT WAS ONCE THE TALLEST SPIRE
IS JUST A BUILDING CRUMBLED DOWN
AND I'M LIVING IN A FACTORY
THAT'S A MILLION DOLLAR FLAT
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ARCADIA
CAUSE IT'S NEVER COMING BACK
I WOULD SPEND MY CHILDHOOD DAYS
LOST IN STARRY DREAMS
AND NOW WATCH MY CHILDREN
JUST DOWNLOADING THEM TO SCREENS
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN
'CAUSE IT'S TOO FAR GONE
YEAH IT'S TOO FAR GONE
YEAH IT'S TOO TOO
TOO FAR TOO FAR GONE
LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN LET IT DOWN
I'M LYING IN A GARDEN
CARPETS IN THE SHADE
THINKING OF THE FUTURE
AND ALL THE LOVE WE SAVED
THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS UGLY
IT'S BITTER AND IT'S HARSH
WE EACH OF US PROTECT OURSELVES
WE'RE HOSTAGE TO THE PAST
AND IT'S TOO FAR GONE
IT'S TOO FAR GONE
I WONDER WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
AND IT'S TOO TOO FAR
AND IT'S TOO TOO FAR
TOO FAR GONE
======================
BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
======================
I WILL BE KIND WON'T BE SO CRUEL
I WILL BE SWEET I WILL BE TRUE
THE PAINS OF LOVE YOU'LL QUICKLY LEARN
ARE SOON TO HEAT AND QUICK TO BURN
I GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
BECAUSE I AM YOUR BRAND NEW FOOL
I GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
I GOT TO LEARN
YOU'LL BE SO PROUD SO PROUD OF ME,
YOU'LL SEE THE CHANGE SO PLAIN TO SEE
BECAUSE OF YOU A BRAND NEW START
BECAUSE OF YOU A CHANGE OF HEART
I GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
IT'S JUST LIKE I WAS BACK IN SCHOOL
I GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
I GOT TO LEARN
I'M GOING TO CHANGE JUST MARK MY WORDS
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THAT YOU HEARD
ALL OF THOSE LIES ALL OF THOSE RUMOURS
THAT YOUR FRIENDS TOLD YOU
AND IF I'M LEFT UPON THE SHELF
'CAUSE YOU BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE
I'VE GOT MY BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
BECAUSE I AM NOBODY'S FOOL
I'VE GOT A BRAND NEW SET OF RULES
I'VE GOT TO LEARN
I'VE GOT TO LEARN
I'VE GOT TO LEARN
