green eyes

honey you are a rock
upon which i stand
and i come here to talk
i hope you understand

the green eyes
yeah the spotlight
shines upon you

and how could
anybody
deny you

i came here with a load
and it feels so much lighter
now i've met you

honey you should know
that i could never go on
without you

green eyes

honey you are the sea
upon which i flow
and i came here to talk
i think you should know

the green eyes
you're the one that i wanted to find
and anyone who tried to deny you
must be out of their minds

cause i came here with a load
and it feels so much lighter since i met you

honey you should know
that i could never go on
without you

green eyes, green eyes, ohohoh...

honey you are a rock
upon which i stand

speed of sound

how long before i get in
before it starts before i begin
how long before you decide or
before i know what it feels like
where to, where do i go?
if you never try then you'll never know
how long do i have to climb
up on the side of this mountain of mine

look up, i look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light,
climb up, up in the trees
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
how long am i gonna stand
with my head stuck under the sand
i'll start before i can stop or
before i see things the right way up


all that noise and all that sound
all those spaces i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began
birds come flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand

ideas that you'll never find
all the inventors could never design
the buildings that you put up
japan and china all lit up
the sign that i couldn't read
or a light, that i couldn't see
some things you have to believe
while others are puzzles, puzzling me

all those sign's i knew what they mean't, somethings you can invent
some get made and some get sent
and birds start flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began

birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
oh, when you see it then you'll understand

trouble

oh no, i see
a spider's web is tangled up with me
And i lost my head
and thought of all the stupid things i've said

oh no, what's this?
a spider's web and i'm caught in the middle
so i turn to run
and thought of all the stupid things i've done

and oh, i never meant to cause you trouble
oh, i never meant to do you wrong
and oh, well if i ever caused you trouble
oh, no i never meant to do you harm

oh no, i see
the spider's web and it's me in the middle
so i twist and turn
but here am i in my little bubble


singing and oh,
i never meant to cause you trouble
and oh, i never meant to do you wrong
oh, well if i ever caused you trouble
oh, no i never meant to do you harm

they spun a web for me
they spun a web for me
they spun a web for me

amsterdam

come on, oh my star is fading
i swerve out of control
if i'd, if i'd only waited
i'd not be stuck here in this hole.

come here, oh my star is fading
and i swerve out of control
and i swear i waited and waited
i've got to get out of this hole.

but time is on your side, it's on your side now
i'm pushing you down and all around
it's no cause for concern

come on, oh my star is fading
and i see no chance of release
and i know i'm dead on the surface
but i'm screaming underneath


and time is on your side, it's on your side now
i'm pushing you down and all around
it's no cause for concern

stuck on the end of this ball and chain
and i'm on my way back down again
stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
sick to the stomach

you can say what you mean
but it won't change a sin
i'm sick of the secrets
stood on the edge
tied to the noose
she came along and she cut me loose
you came along and you cut me loose
you came along and you cut me loose

fix you

when you try your best, but you don't succeed
when you get what you want, but not what you need
when you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse
when the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone, but it goes to waste
could it be worse?


lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you


high up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you


tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
tears stream down your face
and i...


tears stream down on your face
i promise you i will learn from the mistakes
tears stream down your face
and i...

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

warning sign

i missed the good part then i realized
i started looking and the bubble burst
i started looking for excuses

i've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
that i started looking for a warning sign

swallowed in the sea

you cut me down a tree
and brought it back to me
and that's what made me see
where i was going wrong

you put me on a shelf
and kept me for yourself
i can only blame myself
you can only blame me

and i could write a song
a hundred miles long
well, that's where i belong
and you belong with me

and i could write it down
or spread it all around
get lost and then get found
or swallowed in the sea

you put me on a line
and hung me out to dry
and darling that's when i
decided to go to see you

you cut me down to size
and opened up my eyes
made me realize
what i could not see

and i could write a book
the one they'll say that shook
the world, and then it took
it took it back from me

and i could write it down
or spread it all around
get lost and then get found
and you'll come back to me
not swallowed in the sea

ooh...

and i could write a song
a hundred miles long
well, that's where i belong
and you belong with me

the streets you're walking on
a thousand houses long
well, that's where i belong
and you belong with me

oh what good is it to live
with nothing left to give
forget but not forgive
not loving all you see

are the streets you're walking on
a thousand houses long
well that's where i belong
and you belong with me
not swallowed in the sea

you belong with me
not swallowed in the sea
yeah, you belong with me
not swallowed in the sea

i said how do you live
as a fugitive?
down here, where i cannot see so clear
i said what do i know?
show me the right way to go

and the spies came out of the water
but you're feeling so bad 'cos you know
and the spies hide out in every corner
but you can't touch them no
'cos they're all spies

they're all spies

i awake to see that no one is free
we're all fugitives - look at the way we live
down here, i cannot sleep from fear, no
i said which way do i turn?
oh i forget everything i learn

and the spies came out of the water
but you're feeling so bad 'cos you know
and the spies hide out in every corner
but you can't touch them no
'cos they're all spies

and if we don't hide here
they're gonna find us
and if we don't hide now
they're gonna catch us when we sleep
and if we don't hide here
they're gonna find us

and the spies came out of the water
but you're feeling so good 'cos you know
that those spies hide out in every corner
and they can't touch you, no
'cos they're just spies

they're just spies
