I can see the signs
I read it in your eyes
Belief in paradise
At the end of your life
Something’s not quite right here
Did you really think
With the things you’ve done
That we can forgive
And forget it all?
I want to leave this town
And leave my phone behind
But there’s no wilderness
No place that I’ve found to
Sit in deep reflection
Is there meaning in life?
Do we really decide?
Or are we just flotsam along for the ride?
Am I like an acorn? The kind you can grow trees from
Or will I just get eaten by the next one that comes along?
Life just carries on
Beneath this golden sun
So try to be someone
Before your time is done here
And you’re filling up some grave and gone
Am I like an acorn? The kind you can grow trees from
Or will I just get eaten by the next one that comes along?
I guess that we’re all hungry, searching for some answers
Convinced we have the right one
Well come on… pull the other one
We live in different houses, inside it’s just the same though
We pray at different alters, inside it’s just the same though
We all have different answers, inside it’s just the same love

Don't Forget It

Tell me just a one thing
That you have not been listening to him
I was many things but I wasn't cruel
That is not the thing that I want to do to you girl
You fell into another man's arms
He says he'll keep you safe from harm
But will he let you be who you are
Or does he try to keep you locked in a cage?
Are you looking for a way to escape?
This is my heart and it's broke in two
And now I don't know what its running on, I feel so thin
I thought we had something great
but I know it's not my fate to be with you
Acted hard in school, by now its growing old
He's disrespecting you, you should not stand for it all
You fell into another man's arms
He says he'll keep you safe from harm
But will he let you be who you are
Or does he try to keep you locked in a cage
Are you looking for a way to escape?
But there's no way out
Don't regret who you are, don't forget who you are
Don't regret you are, don't forget it...

GAME PLAY
The beast under the bed
Is knocking at your door
And scratching at the window
Fear is instinct to the child
A shadow of the past
When our lives were constant danger
Game on – as if I had to tell you
Play along and you'll never make it out alive
Prey can run and hide and cower in the dark of night
But you will end up in their sights
If you don't become the hunter
If you're ready or ready or not
Ready or not hear they come
Here they come to get you
The strongest will survive
Until another rises to tear your world asunder
Game on – as if I had to tell you
Play along and you'll never make it out alive
Prey can run and hide and cower in the dark of night
But you will end up in their sights
If you don't become the hunter
If you're ready or ready or not
Ready or not hear they come
Here they come to get you }x2
The cemetery's full of ordinary men who followed every order
These sedentary lives, all just memories lost, like tears in the rain
Take on every adversary
Your luck with change eventually
Game on – as if I had to tell you
Play along and you'll never make it out alive
Prey can run and hide and cower in the dark of night
But you will end up in their sights
If you don't become the hunter
If you're ready or ready or not
Ready or not hear they come
Here they come to get you }x2

Gotta be a way out of this box
I like it here that's how I'm stuck
Make us comfortable and we'll do anything
Yeah, all talk is dual, you don't miss a thing
Took a ride in her eyes
But she wants more than you'd like to give
Look at us then, so much promise there
There are many thoughts, I would like to share but I can't
I'm fumbling in the dark
It's not like you wanted to from the start
You needed encouragement oh oh oh
It's not like you wanted what I want
You just want to hold on to someone
Look at us now, see how far we've come
We don't apologise for the mess we've left behind
In other peoples lives
It's not like you wanted to from the start
You needed encouragement ah ah ah
It's not like you wanted what I want
You just want to hold on to someone

Xanadu

Your life stretched in front of you
You didn't know what to do
Kept pickling holes and it slipped right by you
I hope that we're not fictional
Well if you don't get a lot of lines
Just sit at the back and watch the whole time
Scratching at the edges trying to get in
Your life stretched out in front of you
Implausible, impractical need
Impossible, impossible dreams
Your cards laid out in front of you
But you don't know which hand to chose
Only one chance and you're scared you might lose
So what, I'll get my second act
I still don't know what I'm for
The McGuffin or the sound before applause
When we are uncertain it's the end
Your life stretched out in front of you
Full of improbable, impractical needs
Take my hand it's an olive branch
I will rescue you from your practical needs
We'll full ourselves up on impossible dreams
Impossible dreams, impossible dreams
Impossible, impossible dreams
Got there and there's nothing new
It's not Xanadu, it's not Xanadu
Got there and there's nothing new
It's not Xanadu, it's not Xanadu

Stand Up And Be Counted
04:32

You've been kept on a leash
For too long
Looking for the enemy
You know, it's obscene
The way they teach you all how to hate
Not to dream
Of the future
But we keep coming back for more
Stand up and be counted
they say we need a few more like you
I know you'll be disappointed
Because the story's always better than the truth
The less you know, they say, it's better
But you can feel it inside
As they're putting up the battle signs
They say we'll be fine
Lining up to give all that you've got
How could we ever know anything else?
This is our time
Well I'm sorry, baby, this is really not for me
Stand up and be counted
Cos we need a few more like you
I know you'll be disappointed
Cos the story's always better than the truth
Amassing forces
More toy soldiers
You'll come round to the right side
The less you know, darling, the safer it will be for you
Stand up and be counted
Cos we need a few more like you
I know you'll be disappointed
Cos the story's always better than the truth
I'm so sorry, but this is really not for me

Alone in a crowded room
I don't want to be the one who's lost in the foulest of moods
We all get those blues
I don't know what does it to me
I am trying hard to be the one you need
Good company
This old world has got a hell of a kick
It'll put you down for the hell of it
I don't know what this feeling is
I don't know what this feeling is any more
What I need now is a wishing machine
So many dreams I did not believe could come to be
Like you and me
You pick me up and you dust me off,
Send me back out in to the world I love and I can feel
The sun upon my face again
This old world has got a hell of a kick
It'll put you down for the hell of it
I don't know what this feeling is
I don't know what this feeling is any more
Winter starts and it's so romantic
Always longer than you could have imagined
This old world has got a hell of a kick
It'll put you down for the hell of it
I don't know what this feeling is
I should know what that feeling is by now

Yeah, I got picked, I'm on the mission
Must confess I had not premonition at all
We go for science, you watch for entertainment,
Must confess it's a pretty strange situation
Six months floating in space we left the whole human race
But we can't leave this vessel
Did you get my message?
I got a feeling I left it to late to send it
Now I'm a long, long way from my home
You get lonely, lonely, lonely
Out in deep space a mind can grow suspicious.
My crew turned: it's a war of attrition
Six months floating in space we left the whole human race
I hope that we don't crash land
Did you get my message?
I got a feeling I left it to late to send it
I'm a long, long way from my home
Crashed the space craft, the only one left is me,
If you're watching at home I hope it made good TV
Far from the cities, far from the seas,
I'll make this dust-ball a home for me
Ooh la la la. Ooh la la la
Did you get my message?
I got a feeling I left it to late to send it home
I'm a long, long way from my home
Ooh la la la. Ooh la la la
Did you get my message?
I got a feeling I left it to late to send it home
Now I'm never coming home
