Liar


Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No, I won't take too kindly to it.

And all I want is something special,
And you can't give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
'Cause you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No I won't take too kindly to it

When all I want is something different
And you could't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

I'll fight you, I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you're a liar,
Liar...

False


Something has changed and I don't know what to say.
I used to stand here alone and in my mind say...
The people who're calling you soon turn away
They could hate you tomorrow and love you today..

Because they're false
People can be so false sometimes
When they hold my hands
People can be so false sometimes

Something is standing in my way and I can't see
It's clouding up my vision it intimidates me
I didn't want to come here in the first place
You all designed it you all designed it

Because they're false
People can be so false sometimes
When they hold my hands
People can be so false sometimes

I didn't want it
I didn't want to come here...
In the first place
I didn't want it
I didn't want to come here...
In the first place

What You Were


Now it's easy for to see,
Why peoples lives are so lonely?

And you never understood,
You never really could,
You were wrong.

What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.

'Cause you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And I'm lonely.

Yeah, you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.

'Cause you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.

What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.

It took something hard like this,
Mistaken to resist,
And I'm lonely.

Reason


Nothing to say, nothing to do, nowhere to go,
And I can't get over it and be with you.
I don't know what to say,
I don't know what to do
I don't know what you want...
Is there anything that I can do?

'Cause if you weren't somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's bed
If you were...

The look on your face
You'd told us to come here
A reason to be
Escaping from reality

I'll fight you in fear, indefinitely
A reason to be
Escaping from reality

'Cause if you weren't someone else insetad
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...

Nothing to say, nothing to do, nowhere to go,
And I can't get over it and be with you.
I don't know what to say,
I don't know what to do,
I don't know what you want...
Is there anything that I should do?

'Cause ifyou in someone else's bed
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...

Yesterday's Gone


I heard she loved you, I heard she cared,
I heard she miscarried and you were scared.

Did you run from the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.

Did you run from the one
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's done there's no return,
And she cries all night.
Solo.

I believe that a woman can be a slave to a man.
I believe that love that you gave and we try it again.

Will you return to the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.

Will you return to the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's done there's no return,
And she cries all night.

Did you run from the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.

Take My Soul Away


That was some revealing light
That you shone on me last night
Have you turned away from me
Because you know that I can't see?

But if you leave me in the night,
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away

Nothing ever happens to me
Though I still can't see the things that you see.
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?

No, nobody to show me the way
No, nobody to tell me to stay
No, nobody was there
No, nobody does care

That was some revealing light
That you shone on me last night
Have you turned away from me?
Because you know that I can't see

And if you leave me in the night
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away

If you leave me in the night
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away.

Like You Used To


When I think about the things I said to you last night
Well I was wrong, I didn't know what I was saying
Anything that wants you

You used to hold me so tight
But now it's gone, and you drastically ??
Don't you love me anymore, anymore, anymore?
Don't you see me, like you used to?
Like you used to.

You used to see me like nobody else could,
And now it's gone, the way you're falling forever, ever.
And when they told me then that you were no more
Should I leave? Or should I take it all behind me?

Don't you love me anymore, anymore?
Don't you see me, like you used to?
Like you used to.

I'm falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
I'm falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
I believe you.

The Sun Does Rise


Nightime has when all was still
Moon shone the way as we climbed the hill
When we arrived we raised our hands
Now the down has come now we understand

The sun does rise in the eastern sky
And love soon comes watch over I

The road was long yes we travelled far
Thought long dark nights without guiding star
Visions of an angel came along the way
Told us "don't be fearful for there comes a brighter day "

The journey's been an epic
Sometimes I've been so down
Stranded in a lonely bar the other side of town
Yes we've travalled day and night for many a poor mile
Now it all makes sense as we see the morning smile.

God Be With You


The truth will ever hide
Even though I tried
They tried to take my pride
But they only took my father from me
They only took my father
Even though I cried
Even though I tried again

God be with you Ireland
God be with you Ireland

Sometimes I was afraid
Even though I prayed
I've lost my religion now
You took that too somehow
Blood upon thy hands
Blood upon thy hands again

(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland

(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland

God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now

The Sweetest Thing


I am getting ready for my lover,
He is coming home to me tomorrow,
I am getting ready for no other,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.

He as never had to disappoint me,
He was the Sweetest thing,
The neediest thing in my life,

I am getting ready for my lover,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.

It's only fair that you be there with me,
And hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...

I remember sweetness in my childhood,
It was the sweetness child, the world was my understood,
I remember sweetness in my mother,
She did the best she could,
She always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me,

It's only fair that you be there with me,
and hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...

Talilalila...the sweetest thing...

In The Ghetto


As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
