Animal Instinct

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me x2

Dreaming My Dreams

Ah the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me

Into my faith you and you're baby

It's out there
If you want me I'll be here It's out there
If you want me I'll be here

I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

It's out there If you want me I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

Dreams

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La

I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)

And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)

And now I'll tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Empty

Something has left my life,
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused my strife
And it's not what I was seeking

Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
Didn't you see me standing there

Why did you turn out the lights
Did you know that I was sleeping

Say a prayer for me
Help to feel the strength I did
My identity, has it been taken
Is my heart breaking on me

All my plans fell through my hands,
They fell through my hands on me
In my dreams it suddenly seems empty

Linger

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

(chorus)
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, but I was wrong

If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

No Need to Argue

Holding on that's what I do
since I met you
And it won't be long, would you notice
If I left you
And it's fine for some 'cause you're not the one

All night long, I laid on my pillow
These things are wrong I can't sleep here
So lonely, so lonely

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning won't change what I'm feeling
And the daffodils look lovely today

Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise
Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely

And the daffodils looked lovely today
Looked lovely

Ode to My Family

Understand the things I say,
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care

Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me,
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I've become,
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am,
But I miss you. I miss
'Cause I liked it, I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care

Unhappiness, was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me,
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care , does anyone care?

Promises

You better believe I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet you'll get what you deserve.

She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway.

Why can't you stay here a while
Stay here awhile
Stay with me.

Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed.
Oh , all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Do-do-do Do-do-do Do-do-do Do-do-do

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away

Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me..oh.oh

Repeat Chorus

Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh x 3

Salvation

To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free

To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
To all those parents with sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads

To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free

When You're Gone

Hold on to love, that is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay

Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
Hold on to love, that is what I do

Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay

Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

Zombie

Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But you see it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are cryin'
In your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie
In your head, what's in your head Zombie

Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dyin'

In your head, in your head, Zombie, Zombie
In your head, what's in your head Zombie
