remember rio and get down
like some other dj, in some other town
she's been trying to tell me to hold tight
but i've been waiting, this whole night
but i've been down, across a road or two
but now i've found the velvet sun
it shines on me and you

in the back, huh oh, i can't crack
we're on top
it's just a shimmy and a shake, huh oh
i can't fake, we're on top
we're on top

the day is breaking, we're still here
your body's shaking, and it's clear
you really need it, so let go
and let me feed it, but you know
that i've been down, across a road or two
but now i've found the velvet sun
that shines on me and you

in the back, huh oh, i can't crack
we're on top
it's just a shimmy and a shake, huh oh
i can't fake, we're on top

we're on top

and we don't mean to satisfy tonight
so get your eyes off of my bride tonight
cause i don't need to satisfy tonight

it's like a cigarette in the mouth
or a handshake in the doorway
i look at you and smile because i'm fine

jenny was a friend of mine

we took a walk that night but it wasn't the same
we had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
she said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
she couldn't scream while i held her close
i swore i'd never let her go

tell me what you wanna know
oh come on
there ain't no motive for this crime
jenny was a friend of mine
so come on

i know my rights, i've been here all day and it's time
for me to go, so let me know if it's alright
i just can't take this, i swear i told you the truth
she couldn't scream while i held her close
i swore i'd never let her go

tell me what you wanna know
oh come on
and then you whisper in my ear
i know what you're doing here
so come on, oh come on, oh come on
there ain't no motive for this crime
jenny was a friend of mine
oh come on

smile like you mean it

save some face, you know you've only got one
change your ways while you're young
boy, one day you'll be a man
oh girl, he'll help you understand
smile like you mean it

looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
we lost track of the time
dreams aren't what they used to be
some things slide by so carelessly

smile like you mean it

and someone is calling my name
from the back of the restaurant
and someone is playing a game
in the house that i grew up in
and someone will drive her around
down the same streets that i did
on the same streets that i did

smile like you mean it

change your mind

racey days
help me through the hopeless haze
but my oh my
tragic eyes
i can't even recognise myself behind
so if the answer is no
can i change your mind

out again, a siren screams at half past ten
and you won't let go
while i ignore, that we both felt like this
before it starts to show
so if i have a chance
would you let me know

why aren't you shaking
step back in time
graciously taking
oh your too kind

and if the answer is no
can i change your mind

we're all the same
and love is blind
the sun is gone
before it shines

and i said if the answer is no
can i change your mind

all these things that i've done

when there's nowhere else to run
ss there room for one more son
one more son
if you can hold on
if you can hold on, hold on

i wanna stand up, i wanna let go
you know, you know - no you don't, you don't
i wanna shine on, in the hearts of men
i want a meet you from the back of my broken hand

another head aches, another heart breaks
i'm so much older than i can take
and my affection, well it comes and goes
i need direction to perfection

help me out
you know you got to help me out
oh, don't you put me on the back burner
you know you got to help me out

and when there's nowhere else to run
is there room for one more son
these changes ain't changing me
the cold-hearted boy i used to be

you know you got to help me out
oh don't you put me on the back burner
you know you got to help me out
you're gonna bring yourself down

i got soul, but i'm not a soldier
(time, truth, and hearts)

you know you got to help me out
oh don't you put me on the back burner
you know you got to help me out
you're gonna bring yourself down
oh don't you put me on the back burner
you're gonna bring yourself down

over and in, last call for sin
while everyone's lost, the battle is won
with all these things that i've done
all these things that i've done
(time, truth, and hearts)
if you can hold on

everything will be allright

i believe in you and me
i'm coming to find you
if it takes me all night
wrong until you make it right
and i won't forget you
at least i'll try
and run, and run tonight
everything will be alright

i was out shopping for a doll
to say the least, i thought i'd seen them all
but then you took me by surprise
i'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
i never knew, i never knew
so take your suitcase, cause i don't mind
and baby doll, i meant it every time
you don't need to compromise
i'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes
i never knew, i never knew
but it's alright...

everything will be alright

andy, you're a star

1,2
on the field i remember you were incredible
hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
on the field i remember you were incredible
hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
on the mats with the boys, you think you're alone
with the pain that you drain from love
in a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
cause andy, you're a star
get Down

leave your number on the locker and i'll give you a call
hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall
hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah

on the streets, such a sweet face jump in town
in the staff room the verdict is in
in a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
cause andy, you're a star
in nobody's eyes but mine
andy, you're a star
in nobody's eyes but mine
andy, you're a star
in nobody's eyes
in nobody's eyes but mine

under the gun

she's got her halo and wings
hidden under his eyes
but she's an angel for sure
she just can't stop telling lies
but it's too late for his love
already caught in a trap
his angel's kiss was a joke
and she is not coming back

because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me
kill me now

yeah she's got a criminal mind
he's got a reason to pray
his life is under the gun
he's got to hold every day

now he just wants to wake up
yeah, just to prove it's a dream
cause she's an angel for sure
but that remains to be seen

because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me
kill me now

stupid on the streets of London
james dean in the rain
without her it's not the same
the same, the same, but it's alright

because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me

kill me now
again and again

replaceable

pick you up
later on
what to do?
it doesn't matter cause you get
what you want
through and through and if you shatter everything
that we've got
will you call me on occasion
if you like it or not, oh no

so turn it up, take me down
from the wall, it doesn't matter
cause you get what you want after all
and now you've shattered everything that we had
and you call me on occasion just to see how I am
i'm hanging in

but now time teaches me to pretend it doesn't matter
cause you get what you want in the end
and now you've shattered everything
he looks a bit like me

replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
the boy ain't wrong
act like i never turned you on
all i do is cry

and soon you'll find you're all alone
you call me on the telephone
who'd have thought that you'd regret
all those evil things you said
now as friends, we say goodbye
i think there's something in my eye

replaceable
it's cynical
call me useless; just you wait
put me down and call it fate
broken bridges, wasted hate
so just stand beside your man
the boy ain't do it wrong
act like i never turned you on
all i do is cry

and you watched me die
at least a thousand times
but it's great to hear you're doing fine
tonight, too late to fight
but you've got inside this naive head of mine
now time goes by
you knew you would
i need to understand
replaceable

mr. brightside

coming out of my cage
and i've been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because i want it all

it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this?
it was only a kiss
it was only a kiss

now i'm falling asleep
and she's calling a cab
while he's having a smoke
and she's taking a drag

now they're going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it's all in my head
but she's touching his chest now

he takes off her dress now
let me go
and i just can't look its killing me
and taking control

jealousy turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it's just the price i pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
cause i'm mr brightside
I never

believe me natalie

believe me, natalie
listen natalie
this is your last chance to find
a go-go dance to disco now
please believe me, natalie
listen natalie
this is your last chance to find
a go-go dance to disco now

forget what they said in soho
leave the oh-no's out
and believe me, natalie
listen natalie
this is your last chance

there is an old cliche
under your monet, baby
remember the arch of roses
right above your couch
forget what they said in soho
leave the oh-no's out
yes, there is an old cliche
under your monet, baby

you left the station now to the floor
with speculation, what was it for?
in that old hallway
mom says "why don't you stay...
you've been away for a long time"

believe me, natalie
this is your last chance
to find a go-go
forget what they said in soho
and walk away
if my dreams for us can't get you through
just one more day
it's alright by me

god help me somehow
there's no time for survival left
the time is now...
cause this might be your last chance
to disco, oh-oh
