Sister Other Songs: I'll Hide You In A Song Kingdom Come No No ParisWe broke the rulesI'm glad we got out Had to get out to get back in with a tear and a life Take this heart and make it all worthwhile Don't be the last one Get out in time Get out in time Get out in time I won't say that I'm unhappy with you I won't say that I don't know what to do I won't say that I'm unhappy with you Take this heart and make a dream come true Take this heart and make a dream come true Cheap hotels We drink what we get served This can't be anything like all that you've heard Let's get married Put a fence around our house Let's make some babies Leave for Paris tonight Let's leave tonight Let's leave tonight Let's leave tonight I won't say that I'm unhappy with you I won't say that I don't know what to do I won't say that I'm unhappy with you Take this heart and make a dream come true Take this heart and make my dreams come true RunI guess I looked like a cowardTo your accusing blue eyes There was a sentence for crying When being sad was a crime And you held your head up high, that's right And then you told me: "Stand up straight You got to keep your mind on the things at hand" Oh, what a childish thing to say So come on You saw yourself as a rebel Far ahead of the crowd That's why we made such a great team I was stupid, you're proud And you held your head up high, that's right And then you told me: "Stand up straight You got to keep your mind on the things at hand" Oh, what a childish thing to say I won't make the same mistakes Someone else will take the blame for what I've done Me, I run, run, run I know you think I'm a baby And now you're calling me names I heard you calling me traitor Well, now it's clear I got framed And you hold your head up high, that's right And sure I know you'll stand up straight And then you keep your mind on the things at hand Oh, what a childish claim to stake I won't make the same mistakes I know you'll take the blame for what I've done I'm gonna run, run, run Love is My DrugLove is my drug, is my medicineStay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me Love is my drug, she's my heroin Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me When you're feeling tired I'll lie there with you When you get up early in the morning I'll get up with you If you have a craving I'll get it for you You wanna take a ride all by yourself I'll be waiting for you Love is my drug, is my medicine Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me Love is my drug, she's my heroin Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me When you're feeling fired up I'm on fire with you If you had to lie a little I'll let it be true When

with me honey, stay with me Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me Stay with me honey, stay with me honey, stay with me The FakerWith an audience of fourIt's not a crowd I have no need for more Well I'd better not fake it They know a lie I give it all my heart, a solid start The summer sun is shining white A lot of young hearts will go out tonight Well they better not break theirs It's all they get But if it bleeds, then bleed without regrets It's alright Don't start again We're almost done here You turn, you turn away And she was no more than a kid And you have no regrets for what you did She will bear it forever That precious pain Her body's still warm There she goes again It's alright Don't start again We're almost done here You turn, you turn away Skin & BonesYou gave me a weak heartGod gave me soul But still that is nothing Compared (with) what's been given to you Nobody could reach you Nobody could see You played your part well and for so long So kind and so strong If any of your dreams Would rip right at the seam And all you ever did was wrong If every little dream Is taken by the stream Cus all you ever did was wrong So lost when I found you Crawled up in that chair Believing that this is how it works: You love, then it hurts Your breathing was silent You were just skin and bones You'd lost yourself and all you had And still it got worse If any of your dreams Would rip right at the seam And all you ever did was wrong If every little dream Is taken by the stream Cus all you ever did was wrong And any way you try You get the same reply Cus all you ever did was wrong An AxeIf what they say is trueIf she's going under She's not going with you Cus she turned me around And onto a new plan Quite familiar, still new Yeah she helped me up again I never knew what true heartache could do Yeah, you came for me I never know how you found me or why Yeah, you came for me At such an appropriate time I'll kill myself loving you madly Not knowing how to express all I feel Like clouds can't contain too much water I'm bursting with chapters And verses and rhymes Maybe you could sort them out I need to know what I'm talking about Yeah, you came for me I never know how you found out why Yeah, you came for me At such an appropriate time I'll never know how you found me But I'll stay right here In A RoomIn a roomAbove the traffic lights What are we doing here? It doesn't feel that safe You got away Away from the numbing fights But if they find us here: Where are the fire escapes? And I wouldn't let you fall But the weight of our souls Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear Couldn't let you go In the dark and the cold Is there any other light that we can share? Pretty soon we won't have anything Soon all the money's gone Let's hope the beauty stays A capital history towering Against the purple sky Above the waterways And I wouldn't let you fall But the weight of our souls Makes me wonder how much longer we can bear Couldn't let you go In the dark and the cold Is there any other light that we can share? And the car horns And the fast lanes Of the seashore And the sound of shouts in the morning And the silence and the soft shine of your hair ThornYouYour loving kindness is true The wounds inflicted are deep But as my love, my lover's faithful Companion of mine Kiss your sorrows goodbye It's out of love that I breathe And praise the hands that somehow made you Companion of mine Oh, my glory Say those words again I hear the words she once said I feel the pain as I go there once again And I remember No Don't even whisper a word The walls have ears and they long for you to give away your secrets Companion of mine Oh, my glory Say those words again Please Don't ask those questions again Don't make me think of what's been And what I did before I met you Companion of mine Say those words again Oh, my glory Glory, glory Wedding SongSummer moves on with no soundIt bends in on me Saw your face last night Did you see me? Names have changed And now we're in June Chords are flowing They carelessly whisper about us Gather around me Asking questions Have you been around I don't know You still make no sound And the audience is up on their feet Stay here forever We're the same you and me And I'll lead you into whatever Back then I felt nothing with you That's all history It's so easy loving you I went to a wedding But failed to hold my damn speech I had it on paper I planned it for weeks But my fears got the better of me The sun breaks through the clouds The bride and the groom They were joined By the power vested By God in the priest He looked straight at me Mumbled prayers that meant nothing to me And the congregation's up on their feet SisterSister I was chasing you down the streetMay or June '84 I pushed you My confidence grew But the queen on the red horse, she suddenly screams And still in my dreams You fly through the air With your curly blonde hair Waving like a flag from your back Someone's surrendering Concrete and rust You knocked all those baby-whites out Head full of noise, hands full of dust The blood and the echo of the shouts I couldn't take the blame Now I can't stand the shame Sister Can't let it go And I told you How it spread from the heart and through the veins And it grows Open your eyes and tell me what do you see And who is the loneliest at the end of the day How small things shape your life Concrete and rust You knocked all those baby-whites out Head full of noise, hands full of dust The blood and the echo of the shouts I couldn't take the blame Now I can't stand the shame And you're out of reach Someone told me all is gone (But nothing's gone) But we go on I'll Hide You In A SongTalking for hoursNever thought I'd get a second chance Never thought I'd get a shot at a brand new romance This is more With a baby on your arm And your voice of soothing calm Woman you're so good, you're so fine Send shivers down my spine I'm out of my head I don't sleep, I don't eat Lie awake in my bed But I can't tell a soul about this love I'm feeling I can't call out your name because I know that you won't hear So I'll hide you in a song and hope that my love goes on I've been around, seen a million faces Walked down the streets in a thousand diefferent places I've been adored, I've been abused At times I've been used So cheap, so weak You're under my skin I let you in I won't hide I won't hide I won't hide But I can't tell a soul about this love I'm feeling I can't call out your name because I know that you won't hear So I'll hide you in a song and hope that my love goes on Talking for hours I've been around, I've been abused At times I've been used So cheap, so weak But I can't tell a soul I can't call out your name So I'll hide you in a song and hope that my love goes on But I can't tell a soul about this love I'm feeling I can't call out your name because I know that you won't hear So I'll hide you in a song and hope that my love goes on Kingdom ComeNow I knowThe rest is yet to show I've chosen sides I want you by my side To weave and to see eye to eye I guess it's up to me You've had it so long I haven't felt the earth move but I'll wait till kingdom come We'll prevail Don't you expect me to Believe in what I don't know That's why I need time And I'll get there soon I'll get there with you Caught a smile in your face And everything we knew would fall in place Tied up in rules It's all in black and white You twist and you turn You say you've got another plan You say you want me as your man We're not wrong it's them who's not right I wonder if he Planned it all this way and there's just nothing left to say Love won't wait So don't you expect me to Believe in what I don't know That's why I need time And I'll get there soon I'll get there with you Caught a smile in your face And everything we knew would fall in place No NoThere's no oddities of life hereThe air is still, the water's stale, time stands still This day is done I want to feel what you feel I want to see the things you see and do the things you've done Go where you have been To get closer to you I don't remember what it was like No, no I don't feel the way I used to feel About loving you, needing you I don't have the will to work it through I'm leaving now, leaving you She didn't take her shoes off Didn't ask her what was wrong, she just stood there No Nothing's really changed here Park the car and get back home and walk the dog No nothing's changed But the look in your eye I don't remember what it was like No, no I don't feel the way I used to feel About loving you, needing you I don't have the will to work it through I'm leaving now, leaving you |
