I saw you in the front row
of my rock 'n' roll show
You sang along to all the words
even the ones you didn't know
because everybody loves you way you dance
And everybody loves the way you dance
We drank wine 'till we would pass out
We sat down on the grass
we sung songs about New Jesery
And I tried to make you laugh
Because everybody loves the way you smile
And everybody loves the way you smile
Let's take a dip in the river
We'll jump from shore to sea
Your eyes they were saying
one day you'll marry me
We're lost in the moment
Best things in life are free
In life are free
We both looked up at the stars
with you tucked up in me
I thought this can't be happening
Something can't be real
Because everybody loves a fairytale
And everybody loves a fairytale
We danced like there was no-one
Like the whole world was ours
We both knew that the other
Owned each others heart
Because everybody loves a heartbreak song
And everybody loves a heartbreak song
Let's take a dip in the river
We'll jump from shore to sea
Your eyes they were saying
one day you'll marry me
We're lost in the moment
Best things in life are free
In life are free
We'll soon grow old together
And I'll still be around
The bad boys you've forgotton
And the places that we found
Because not a soul could love you like I do
Not a soul could love you like I do
Let's take a dip in the river
We'll jump from shore to sea
Your eyes they were saying
One day you'll marry me

Divine Intervention
03:27

I'm not a gin drinker
but I'd be for you,
Make mine a strong one,
to drown out the blues
If I took my car and
I drove of this bridge
I wouldn't stop caring
If I stopped to live
God knows I sworn and
I've cursed at the Lord
He wouldn't forgive me
I meant every word
Divine intervention
can't save me now
I'm already in hell
My head's in the clouds
You'll feel much better in the morning they said
I replied "You lied, I'm already long dead"
Who knows where I'm going, it don't seem safe here
I need a good word and some good songs to hear
I'll lie down in my bed
for this one last time
Forever I'm hoping
Don't open your eyes
I'll whisper my prayers
Just in case I am wrong
And worship the devil
Who pulls me along
Though fate fell short
And I fell to my knees
I knew that with each step
I did what I pleased
I know that there's no God
To judge what I did
Each choice that was made
I lived how I lived
You'll feel much better in the morning they said
I replied "You lied, I'm already long dead"
Who knows where I'm going, it don't seem safe here
I need a good word and some good songs to hear
Now it's all over
And I'm moving on
Eternity here
It don't seem that long
This brimstone is sharp
But no more than my tounge
Through all that I said
I guess I was wrong

Lead Me Home
03:19
|
|||
I'm so far down
I've fallen into
hell and back again
to meet you
If you saw what I could see through
There'd be mess
I've said before
That I can't stand you
Heaven knows I'm
miserable too
I spend my time sniffing some glue
Off my head
I'm not alright
But I try to get by
I smile for a minute
every time you walk bye
Punk and poems
were my life line
Once your heartbeat had
left my side
Now I sit and drink some white wine
on my own
I guess I lied
When I said I'm fine
Trouble is I do that
sometimes
My world's falling from the outside
Now I'm free
I'm not alright
But I try to get by
I smile for a minute
every time you walk bye
Failing that
I'm better off alone
If you held my held
You could lead me home
If I had my way
I'd be joyful
Not this solemn
single woeful
Guy who doesn't seem so hopeful
Every day
You think I'm
being disrespectful
And that I am so
unhelpful
Saying that it don't help at all
Won't you see
I'm not alright
But I try to get by
I smile for a minute
every time you walk bye
Failing that
I'm better off alone
If you held my held
You could lead me home
I try my best to
raise a smile
It only lasts just
for a while
I could walk alone for miles
I do now
I think sometimes
That I am hostile
Do I seem so
volatile
Just because they make me bile
Without trying
I'm not alright
But I try to get by
I smile for a minute
every time you walk bye
Failing that
I'm better off alone
If you held my held
You could lead me home

Move Along
03:36
|

Said oh my dear
This is what it's come to, you believe
that we're all out to get you, you decieve
Every young boy following your feet
Like heaven was a place not meant for me
Guess I confess
To every crime I said I didn't do
To everyone who blamed it all on you
And strangers came and they locked me away
Doubting that I ever found a way
And all the bright lights in heaven
couldn't save you now
Stop acting like you're happy
Move along,
the bright light's looking dull now,
move along,
when everybody told you
you were wrong
You only had a soul stuck in your song
so sing along
Yes you know
The shattered broken drunkard, I became
The mess I said that you'd become the same
I guess I lied when I said I was fine
Trouble is, I do this all the time
I'm happy now
Doing what I always did before
Because I never knew anything more
I saw you holding hands the other day
You looked, you smiled and then you turned away
I forgave you
You forgot me
I forgave you
You forgot me
Said oh my dear,
This is what it's come to,
3 long years of living without you
I'll never forgive
and I'll never forget you
Stop acting like you're happy

You Deserve Me
01:23
|

I don't think I understand
Why you do this
You end up in tears
and I end up in bits
It hurts you too much
but we'll never agree
You don't deserve him
You deserve me
Each time that he hurts
You come running may way
Soon I'll have run out
of nice things to say
I won't always be there
When you choose to flee
You don't deserve him
you deserve me
Gimme some painkillers
and something to drink
we could talk for a while
or just stop and think
about how we'll never be
more than we see
You don't deserve him
You deserve me
Maybe there's something
That I'd learn to say
That would make it all better
make him go away
I was looking for how
But I've since found the key
You don't deserve him
You deserve me
And I know I'm bad
but darling he's worse
did you know I've memorised
Every last word
That he said to you
To stop you being free
You don't deserve him
You deserve me
No you don't deserve him
You deserve me
