Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fires burning
Choose my colour
Find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow words are token
Come inside/and catch my tears
You've been talking but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Karma Chameleon

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along
You string along

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival

I'm a man with conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

It's A Miracle

Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Dance with the counterfeit
The plastic smiles and micro heat
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
Run to the edge of town
Where Hollywood lay its footprints down
Monroe was there but do you really care

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle

Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise, who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Victims

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you

We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can I give them all to you

Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you

Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there were some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well, so well...

Time (Clock Of The Heart)

Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears

Ooh, in time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show

Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know we've got nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time (Time, time, time)

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we, touch was the
heart too much
I felt I lost you from the start

Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know we've got nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time (Time, time, time)

Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know we've got nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

From Luxury To Heartache

Luxury and heartache
Oh luxury and heartache

I won't be coming home tomorrow
Nobody there to catch my tears
I won't be leaving tears of sorrow anymore
I've played that game for so many years

If I cry, will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If I cry, will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning

She will be there to give you children, yes she will
She will be there to make you sing, sing, sing
I won't be standing in the shadows anymore
I learned to cover up my pain

If I cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If I cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me no warning

Gave me love
Yes, you gave your love to me
You gave me love
But it's not enough for me
Oh luxury
Ain't that easy to find
In this heart of mine
I won't learn
Oh luxury
But all you give me is pain

If I cry will you catch my fall
Do you want things to be the same
If I cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me no warning

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me, gave me no warning

Move Away

Spirit changed the conversation
Stepping stones across the land
I never wanted to be a hero
I never wanted to be a man

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I'm prepared to wear my sorrow
Everywhere we go in town
Ain't no need to beg or borrow
While you're there to drag me down

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I need you so
I can't let go

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I never said that I'd hold your hand
Why don't you move
I never said I'd understand
Why don't you move

I Pray

When you hear them talking
Saying things that you don't understand
Just keep on walking
And tell 'em you don't give a damn
Don't call me brother, I ain't your brother

We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
We'll be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

(Take a look at that cat)
It's a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I don't cry when I feel the tension
I have state security

This ain't a revolution
That's just people talking
Ain't a revolution

Say, say it again
If I never get caught
I'll be here all night
Doing things I know ain't right
Fifty seven dreams ago
That's the problem if you're slow

(I ain't your brother)
And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say...

Heaven's Children

United (I get tired of speaking)

What if you're a lonely boy
What if you're broken man
What if you're just tired of speaking

I live with my heartache, you bet that I do
I'm sad and I'm shaken, I'm empty and so blue
Magical function, I gave it all to you
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

What if you're a lonley boy
What if you're a broken man
What if you're just tired of speaking
What if you're alone at night
What if we're all heaven's children

I grew up in darkness, my enemies few
I gave you my life, it was easy for you
No explanation, this boy has grown up too
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

I believe the world should always be our standing ground
And I believe the world should hold us close
And spin this great big world around

Don't be scared at night alone
And spin this great big world around

What if you're a lonely boy
What if you're a broken man
What if you're just tired of speaking
What if they break hearts for you
(And I will never let go)
What if you're intent is true
(No matter how we control)
What if you're just tired of crying
(I will never let go, no matter how we control)
Heaven's children

I was young, but still I knew
People were just frightened too
I would talk, they would not hear me

What if you're a lonely boy
What if you're a broken man
What if you're just tired of speaking

I have been a lonely boy
I have been a broken man
I am here and still I'm crying

God Thank You Woman

Woman, thank you, thank you

What we have is something special
Something quite unique
What we have should last forever
Heaven at my feet

I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave

God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

In this world you are my pleasure
No one can compete
Happiness is hard to measure
Woman you're so sweet

I would give my heart to you
You're the air I breathe
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave

God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

When I'm alone at night I think of love
Well baby that's alright but it ain't enough

Won't you call me if you need me
I have loved

I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
Oh God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
Oh God thank you woman...

Come Clean

I was cold 'till you touched me
Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Felt like someone was counting
The tears that rushed from my eyes
I was broken and doubting
Love and my own sweet pride

Come clean, come clean
You know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

Felt a rush from the mountain
Oh lord, I pushed you aside
I felt nothing but sadness
I'll be alone tonight

Come clean, come clean
You know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

How can we lose? There's no laws to abuse
There was never more passion in crime
You took my hand, told me you'd understand
There'd be time, so much time

I was cold 'till you touched me
Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Come clean, come clean
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

Come clean, come clean
I know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide
Love is the great divide
