precious

precious and fragile things
need special handling
my god what have we done to you?

we always try to share
the tenderest of care
now look what we have put you through...

things get damaged
things get broken
i thought we'd manage
but words left unspoken
left us so brittle
there was so little left to give

angels with silver wings
shouldn't know suffering
i wish i could take the pain for you

if god has a master plan
that only he understands
i hope it's your eyes he's seeing through

things get damaged
things get broken
i thought we'd manage
but words left unspoken
left us so brittle
there was so little left to give

i pray you learn to trust
have faith in both of us
and keep room in your hearts for two

things get damaged
things get broken
i thought we'd manage
but words left unspoken
left us so brittle
there was so little left to give

a question of lust

fragile
like a baby in your arms
be gentle with me
i'd never willingly
do you harm

apologies
are all you seem to get from me
but just like a child
you make me smile
when you care for me
and you know

it's a question of lust
it's a question of trust
it's a question of not letting
what we've built up
crumble to dust
it is all of these things and more
that keep us together

independence
is still important for us though (we realise)
it's easy to make
the stupid mistake
of letting go (do you know what i mean)

my weaknesses
you know each and every one (it frightens me)
but i need to drink
more than you seem to think
before i'm anyone's
and you know

it's a question of lust
it's a question of trust
it's a question of not letting
what we've built up
crumble to dust
it is all of these things and more
that keep us together

kiss me goodbye
when i'm on my own
but you know that i'd
rather be home

it's a question of lust

black celebration

let's have a black celebration
black celebration
tonight

to celebrate the fact
that we've seen the back
of another black day

i look to you
how you carry on
when all hope is gone
can't you see

your optimistic eyes
seem like paradise
to someone like
me

i want to take you
in my arms
forgetting all i couldn't do today

black celebration
black celebration
tonight

to celebrate the fact
that we've seen the back
of another black day

i look to you
and your strong belief
me, i want relief
tonight

consolation
i want so much
want to feel your touch
tonight

take me in your arms
forgetting all you couldn't do today


black celebration
i'll drink to that
black celebration
tonight

stripped

come with me
into the trees
we'll lay on the grass
and let the hours pass

take my hand
come back to the land
let's get away
just for one day

let me see you
stripped down to the bone
let me see you
stripped down to the bone

metropolis
has nothing on this
you're breathing in fumes
i taste when we kiss

take my hand
come back to the land
where everything's ours
for a few hours

let me see you
stripped down to the bone
let me see you
stripped down to the bone

let me hear you
make decisions
without your television
let me hear you speaking
just for me

let me see you
stripped down to the bone

let me hear you speaking
just for me

let me see you
stripped down to the bone let me hear you crying
just for me

everything counts

the handshake
seals the contract
from the contract
there's no turning back
the turning point
of a career
in korea, being insincere
the holiday
was fun packed
the contract
still intact

the grabbing hands
grab all they can
all for themselves
after all

it's a competitive world
everything counts in large amounts

the graph
on the wall
tells the story
of it all
picture it now
see just how
the lies and deceit
gained a little more power
confidence
taken in
by a sun tan
and a grin


the grabbing hands
grab all they can
all for themselves
after all

it's a competitive world
everything counts in large amounts

the grabbing hands
grab all they can
everything counts in large amounts

how does it feel

(i promise you)
i promise you, i promise you i will

when your day is through
and so is your temper
you know that to do

sometimes if i shout
it's not quite intended
these words just come out
with no cross to bear

im sorry, but im just thinking of the right words to say

enjoy the silence

words like violence
break the silence
come crashing in
into my little world
painful to me
pierce right through me
can't you understand
oh my little girl

all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
words are very unnecessary
they can only do harm

vows are spoken
to be broken
feelings are intense
words are trivial
pleasures remain
so does the pain
words are meaningless
and forgettable


all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
words are very unnecessary
they can only do harm

enjoy the silence

dream on

can you feel a little love

as your bony fingers close around me
long and spindly
death becomes me
heaven can you see what i see

hey you pale and sickly child
you're death and living reconciled
been walking home a crooked mile

paying debt to karma
you party for a living
what you take won't kill you
but careful what you're giving

there's no time for hesitating
pain is ready, pain is waiting
primed to do it's educating


unwanted, uninvited kin
it creeps beneath your crawling skin
it lives without it lives within you

feel the fever coming
you're shaking and twitching
you can scratch all over
but that won't stop you itching

can you feel a little love
can you feel a little love

dream on dream on

blame it on your karmic curse
or shame upon the universe
it knows its lines
it's well rehearsed

it sucked you in, it dragged you down
to where there is no hallow ground
where holiness is never found

paying debt to karma
you party for a living
what you take won't kill you
but careful what you're giving

can you feel a little love
can you feel a little love


dream on dream on

can you feel a little love
can you feel a little love

dream on dream on

i feel loved

it's the dark night of my soul
and temptation's taking hold
but through the pain and the suffering
through the heartache and trembling

i feel loved
i feel loved

as the darkness closes in
in my head i hear whispering
questioning and beckoning
but i'm not taken in

i feel loved
i feel loved

from the depths of my emptiness
comes a feeling of inner bliss
i feel wanted, i feel desired
i can feel my soul on fire

i feel loved
i feel loved

it's no good

i'm going to take my time
i have all the time in the world
to make you mine
it is written in the stars above
the gods decree
you'll be right here by my side
right next to me
you can run but you cannot hide

don't say you want me
don't say you need me
don't say you love me
it's understood
don't say you're happy
out there without me
i know you can't be
'cause it's no good

i'll be fine
i'll be waiting patiently
till you see the signs
and come running to my open arms
when will you realize
do we have to wait 'till our worlds collide
open up your eyes
you can't turn back the tide

don't say you want me
don't say you need me
don't say you love me
it's understood
don't say you're happy
out there without me
i know you can't be
'cause it's no good

i'm going to take my time
i have all the time in the world
to make you mine
it is written in the stars above


don't say you want me
don't say you need me
don't say you love me
it's understood
don't say you're happy
out there without me
i know you can't be
'cause it's no good

strangelove

there'll be times
when my crimes
will seem almost unforgivable
i give in to sin
because you have to make this life liveable
but when you think i've had enough
from your sea of love
i'll take more than another riverfull
yes, and i'll make it all worthwhile
i'll make your heart smile

strangelove
strange highs and strange lows
strangelove
that's how my love goes
strangelove
will you give it to me
will you take the pain
i will give to you
again and again
and will you return it

there'll be days
when i'll stray
i may appear to be
constantly out of reach
i give in to sin
because i like to practise what i preach
i'm not trying to say
i'll have it all my way
i'm always willing to learn
when you've got something to teach
and i'll make it all worthwhile
i'll make your heart smile

pain will you return it
i'll say it again -- pain
pain will you return it
i'll say it again -- pain

pain will you return it
i'll say it again -- pain
pain will you return it
i won't say it again


i give in
again and again
i give in
will you give it to me
i give in
i'll say it again
i give in

i give in
again and again
i give in
will you give it to me
i give in
i'll say it again
i give in

strangelove
that's how my love goes
strangelove

will you give it to me
will you take the pain
i will give to you
again and again

and will you return it

a pain that i'm used to

i'm not sure what i'm looking for anymore
i just know that i'm harder to console
i don't see who i'm trying to be instead of me
but the key is a question of control

can you say what you're trying to play anyway
i just pay while you're breaking all the rules
all the signs that i find have been underlined
devils thrive on the drive that is fueled

all this running around, well it's getting me down
just give me a pain that i'm used to
i don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
you just need to achieve something that rings true

there's a hole in your soul like an animal
with no conscience, repentance unknown
close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
devils feed on the seeds that are sown

i can't conceal what i feel, what i know is real
no mistaking the faking, i care
with a prayer in the air i will leave it there
on a note full of hope not despair

all this running around, well it's getting me down
just give me a pain that i'm used to
i don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
you just need to achieve something that rings true

john the revelator

john the revelator
put him in an elevator
take him up to the highest high
take him up to the top where the mountains stop
let him tell his book of lies

john the revelator
he's a smooth operator
it's time we cut him down to size
take him by the hand
and put him on the stand
let us hear his alibis

by claiming god - as his holy right
he's stealing a god from the israelite
stealing a god from a muslim, too
there is only one god through and through
seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
seven angels with seven trumpets
send them home on the morning train
well who's that shouting?
john the revelator!
all he ever gives us is pain
well who's that shouting?
john the revelator!
he should bow his head in shame

suffer well

where were you when i fell from grace
frozen heart, an empty space
something's changing, it's in your eyes
please don't speak, you'll only lie
i found treasure not where i thought
peace of mind can't be bought
still i believe

i just hang on
suffer well
sometimes it's hard
it's hard to tell

an angel led me when i was blind
i said take me back, i've changed my mind
now i believe
from the blackest room, i was torn
he called my name, a love was born
so i believe

i just hang on
suffer well
sometimes it's hard
it's hard to tell

i just hang on
suffer well
sometimes it's hard
so hard to tell

i want it all

i see a river
it's oceans that i want
you have to give me everything
everything's not enough

it's my desire
to give myself to you
sometimes

sometimes i try
sometimes i lie, with you
sometimes i cry
sometimes i die, it's true
somewhere i find
something that's kind

and i've crossed the line again
a line i drew in sand
still you give me everything
and everything's not enough

i'm ready but not willing
to give myself to you
sometimes

sometimes i try
sometimes i lie, with you
sometimes i cry
sometimes i die, it's true
somewhere i find
something that's kind

come on over
lay down beside me
and i'll try
come on over
lay down beside me
and i'll try
and i'll try

i want it all

nothing's impossible

just give me a reason, some kind of sign
i'll need a miracle to help me this time
i heard what you said, and i feel the same
i know in my heart that i'll have to change

even the stars look brighter tonight
nothing's impossible
i still believe in love at first sight
nothing's impossible

how did we get to be this far apart?
how did we get to be this far apart?
i want to be with you, something to share
i want to be here, i am not there

even the stars look brighter tonight
nothing's impossible
i still believe in love at first sight
nothing's impossible
even the stars look brighter tonight
nothing's impossible
if you believe in love at first sight
nothing's impossible

i still believe in love at first sight
nothing's impossible

damaged people

we're damaged people
drawn together
by subtleties that we are not aware of
disturbed souls
playing out forever
these games that we once thought we would be scared of

when you're in my arms
the world makes sense
there is no pretense
and you're crying
when you're by my side
there is no defense
i forget to sense
i'm dying

we're damaged people
praying for something
that doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
depraved souls
trusting in the one thing
the one thing that this life has not denied us

when i feel the warmth
of your very soul
i forget i'm cold
and crying
when your lips touch mine
and i lose control
i forget i'm old
and dying

lilian

oh, lillian
look what you've done
you've stripped my heart
ripped it apart
in the name of fun

oh, lillian
i'm a poor man's son
and precious jewels
weren't found in schools
where i came from

pain and misery always hit the spot
knowing you can't lose what you haven't got

oh, lillian
i should have run
i should have known
each dress you own
is a loaded gun

oh, lillian

oh, lillian
i need protection
i hear your voice
and any choice i had is gone

oh, lillian
once i begun
i couldn't stop
'til every drop of blood was sung

pain and misery always hit the spot
knowing you can't lose what you haven't got

oh, lillian
look what you've done
you stripped my heart
ripped it apart
in the name of fun

oh, lillian

in your room

in your room
where time stands still
or moves at your will
will you let the morning come soon
or will you leave me lying here
in your favourite darkness
your favourite half-light
your favourite consciousness
your favourite slave

in your room
where souls disappear
only you exist here
will you lead me to your armchair
or leave me lying here
your favourite innocence
your favourite prize
your favourite smile
your favourite slave

i'm hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
will i always be here

in your room
your burning eyes
cause flames to arise
will you let the fire die down soon
or will i always be here
your favourite passion
your favourite game
your favourite mirror
your favourite slave

i'm hanging on your words
living on your breath
feeling with your skin
will i always be here

blasphemous rumours

girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
slashed her wrists, bored with life
didn't succeed, thank the lord
for small mercies

fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
sixteen candles burn in her mind
she takes the blame, it's always the same
she goes down on her knees and prays

i don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
but i think that god's got a sick sense of humor
and when i die i expect to find him laughing

girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
found new life in jesus christ
hit by a car, ended up
on a life support machine

summer's day, as she passed away
birds were singing in the summer sky
then came the rain, and once again
a tear fell from her mother's eye

i don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
but i think that god's got a sick sense of humor
and when i die i expect to find him laughing

lie to me

come on and lay with me
come on and lie to me
tell me you love me
say i'm the only one

experiences have a lasting impression
but words once spoken
don't mean a lot now
belief is the way
the way of the innocent
and when i say innocent
i should say naive
so lie to me
but do it with sincerity
make me listen
just for a minute
make me think
there's some truth in it

promises made for convenience
aren't necessarily
what we need
truth is a word
that's lost its meaning
the truth has become
merely half-truth
so lie to me
like they do it in the factory
make me think
that at the end of the day
some great reward
will be coming my way

people are people

people are people so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully

so we're different colours
and we're different creeds
and different people have different needs
it's obvious you hate me
though i've done nothing wrong
i never even met you
so what could i have done

i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man
help me understand

people are people so why should it be
you and i should get along so awfully

help me understand

now you're punching and you're kicking
and you're shouting at me
i'm relying on your common decency
so far it hasn't surfaced
but i'm sure it exists
it just takes a while to travel
from your head to your fist

i can't understand
what makes a man
hate another man

help me understand

somebody

i want somebody to share
share the rest of my life
share my innermost thoughts
know my intimate details
someone who'll stand by my side
and give me support
and in return
she'll get my support
she will listen to me
when i want to speak
about the world we live in
and life in general
though my views may be wrong
they may even be perverted
she'll hear me out
and won't easily be converted
to my way of thinking
in fact she'll often disagree
but at the end of it all
she will understand me
aaaahhhhh...

i want somebody who cares
for me passionately
with every thought and
with every breath
someone who'll help me see things
in a different light
all the things i detest
i will almost like
i don't want to be tied
to anyone's strings
i'm carefully trying to steer clear of
those things
but when i'm asleep
i want somebody
who will put their arms around me
and kiss me tenderly
though things like this
make me sick
in a case like this
i'll get away with it
and in a place like this
i'll get away with it
aaaahhhhh...

master and servant

there's a new game
we like to play you see
a game with added reality
you treat me like a dog
get me down on my knees

we call it master and servant
we call it master and servant

it's a lot like life
this play between the sheets
with you on top and me underneath
forget all about equality

let's play master and servant
let's play master and servant

it's a lot like life
and that's what's appealing
if you despise that throwaway feeling
from disposable fun
then this is the one

domination's the name of the game
in bed or in life
they're both just the same
except in one you're fulfilled
at the end of the day

let's play master and servant
let's play master and servant

let's play master and servant
come on, master and servant

get the balance right

there's more besides joyrides
a little house in the countryside
understand, learn to demand
compromise, and sometimes lie

get the balance right, get the balance right

be responsible, respectable
stable but gullible
concerned and caring, help the helpless
but always remain ultimately selfish

get the balance right, get the balance right

you think you've got a hold of it all
you haven't got a hold at all
when you reach the top, get ready to drop
prepare yourself for the fall, you're gonna fall
it's almost predictable
(almost)

don't turn this way, don't turn that way
straight down the middle until next thursday
reverse to the left, then back to the right
twist and turn 'til you've got it right

get the balance right, get the balance right

sweetest perfection

the sweetest perfection
to call my own
the slightest correction
couldn't finely hone
the sweetest infection
of body and mind
sweetest injection
of any kind

i stop and i stare too much
afraid that i care too much
and i hardly dare to touch
for fear that the spell may be broken

when i need a drug in me
and it brings out the thug in me
feel something tugging me
then i want the real thing not tokens

the sweetest perfection...

things you'd expect to be
having effect on me
pass undetectedly
but everyone knows what has got me

takes me completely
touches so sweetly
reaches so deeply
i know that nothing can stop me

sweetest perfection
an offer was made
an assorted collection
but i wouldn't trade

the sweetest perfection...

takes me completely
touches so sweetly
reaches so deeply
nothing can stop me

personal jesus

reach out and touch faith

[your own personal jesus
someone to believe your prayers
someone who cares
your own personal jesus
someone to believe your prayers
someone who's there

feeling unknown
and you're all alone
flesh and bone
by the telephone
lift up the receiver
i'll make you a believer]

take second best
put me to the test
things on your chest
you need to confess
i will deliver
you know i'm a forgiver

reach out and touch faith

i will deliver
you know i'm a forgiver

reach out and touch faith

your own personal jesus

reach out and touch faith

halo

you wear guilt
like shackles on your feet
like a halo in reverse
i can feel
the discomfort in your seat
and in your head it's worse

there's a pain
a famine in your heart
an aching to be free
can't you see
all love's luxuries
are here for you and me

and when our worlds they fall apart
when the walls come tumbling in
though we may deserve it
it will be worth it

bring your chains
your lips of tragedy
and fall into my arms

and when our worlds they fall apart
when the walls come tumbling in
though we may deserve it
it will be worth it

policy of truth

you had something to hide
should have hidden it, shouldn't you
now you're not satisfied
with what you're being put through

it's just time to pay the price
for not listening to advice
and deciding in your youth
on the policy of truth

things could be so different now
it used to be so civilised
you will always wonder how
it could have been if you'd only lied

it's too late to change events
it's time to face the consequence
for delivering the proof
in the policy of truth

never again
is what you swore
the time before
never again
is what you swore
the time before

now you're standing there tongue tied
you'd better learn your lesson well
hide what you have to hide
and tell what you have to tell
you'll see your problems multiplied
if you continually decide
to faithfully pursue
the policy of truth

never again
is what you swore
the time before

blue dress

put it on
and don't say a word
put it on
the one that i prefer
put it on
and stand before my eyes
put it on
please don't question why

can you believe
something so simple
something so trivial
makes me a happy man
can't you understand
say you believe
just how easy
it is to please me

because when you learn
you'll know what makes the world turn

put it on
i can feel so much
put it on
i don't need to touch
put it on
here before my eyes
put it on
because you realise
and you believe

something so worthless
serves a purpose
it makes me a happy man
can't you understand
say you believe
just how easy
it is to please me

because when you learn
you'll know what makes the world turn

happiest girl

happiest girl i ever knew
happiest girl i ever knew

wanted to feel the joy
flow between our lips
wanted to feel the joy
flow between our hips

happiest girl i ever knew
why do you smile the smile you do

happiest girl i ever knew
happiest girl i ever knew

wanted to feel the joy
pass between our eyes
wanted to feel the joy
pass between our thighs

and i would have to pinch her
just to see that she was real
just to watch the smile fade away
see the pain she'd feel

happiest girl i ever knew
happiest girl i ever knew

wanted to feel her joy
feel it deep within
wanted to feel her joy
penetrate my skin

happiest girl i ever knew
why do you smile the smile you do

just can't get enough

when i'm with you baby, i go out of my head
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough
all the things you do to me and everything you said
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough

we slip and slide as we fall in love
and i just can't seem to get enough of

we walk together, we're walking down the street
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough
every time i think of you i know we have to meet
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough

it's getting hotter, it's a burning love
and i just can't seem to get enough of

i just can't get enough

and when it rains, you're shining down for me
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough
just like a rainbow you know you set me free
and i just can't get enough, i just can't get enough

you're like an angel and you give me your love
and i just can't seem to get enough

i just can't get enough
