1. _ She's So High
she's blood flesh and bone
no tucks or silicone
she's touch smell sight taste and sound
but somehow i can't believe
that anything should happen
i know where i belong
and nothing's gonna happen
'cause she's so high
high above me she's so lovely
she's so high like cleopatra joan of arc or aphrodite
she's so high high above me
first class and fancy free
she's high society
she's got the best of everything
what could a guy like me ever really offer
she's perfect as she can be why should i even bother
chorus
she calls to speak to me
i freeze immediately
'cause what she says sounds so unreal
'cause somehow i can't believe
that anything should happen
i know where i belong
and nothing's gonna happen

2. _ Looks Like Rain
your aspirations glew like flies
you took the planet by surprise
you truly believed
but of course you'd been deceived
it's an age of alienation
of a downbeat generation
so much for liberation
it looks like rain to me
in a drug infected haze
you attacked the bourgeois ways
and felt so relieved
but consider what you leave
chorus
i loved but knew not who
belonged but not to you
i'm a man of modern hue
like an indian summer sky
i can kiss this dream goodbye
so long to the blue
there's a shadow over you
chorus
it's an age of your creation
of a disunited nation
so much for your invasion
it looks like rain to me

3. _ I Wonder
dad says it's striking
how i look like you
and how we share the same eyes
yes he swears i'm just a smaller form of you
but brittle bones and a wisp of white hair
are all i see in that old rocking chair
tell me how long have you been around
and how long |
4. _ Romanticide
another grand surprise
your rapier wit cut me down to size
you love to pass your time
looking for ways to play the thorn in my side
it's déjà vu one more time
whoever said to take it on the chin
whoever said that good guys always win
has never seen the sorry state i'm in
a victim of romanticide again
my little atom bomb
this is the last time you'll do me wrong
so listen when i speak
i can't go on forever turning my cheek
your whipping boy's about to speak
chorus
i've paid my bills and cleaned out my closet
slammed the front door tight
i can't believe that i ever thought
this all would work out right
chorus
whoever said to get down on your knees
give your ground or try your best to please
has never seen my lonely misery
a victim of romanticide that's me

5. _ I Am Free
sea sand and stone
wreath 'round this ground i call my own
while dark concrete sky
blacks out the sun with icy night
even though the ocean roars
and the storm is bold and the rain is cold
here i was born
though winter winds have blown
and bitter seeds been sown
i gave you all i am and all i hope to be
now i am free
wind fill my frame
fire me with your immortal flame
even though i am poor
through the looking glass i watch unfold
what can't be told
chorus
though fortunes rise and fall
it's no concern at all
i gave you all i am and all i hope to be
now i am free
even though i am poor
through the looking glass i watch unfold
what can't be told
chorus

6. _ Beside You
throughout the passing years
as all the world seems ever changing
we share the smiles and tears
of life with love that's so far ranging
and after all is said and done
i'll be the one beside you
i'll be your love and loyal friend
until the end beside you
each flower bends with time
each leaf descends with every autumn
but you and i will find
our love won't die or be forgotten
chorus
when you and i are grey
when youth has gone and life is dimming
i promise that i'll stay
beside you like we were beginning

7. _ Strong Enough
and if you could you'd climb atop
the eiffel tower now wouldn't you
you'd stare at the sun or lay yourself
down six feet under wouldn't you
and if you could you'd tie me up
and make me yours now wouldn't you
are you strong enough to love me
are you lost in love or crazy
are you strong enough
strong enough to love me
and if you could you'd walk through fire
on tightrope wire now wouldn't you
you'd fly up across the sky
just to prove your point now wouldn't you
chorus
you'd take me in hand higher and higher overland
but i'd slip through the cracks and higher and higher
take you back
and if you could you'd tie me up
and make me yours now wouldn't you
you'd tie me up
but are you strong enough to love me
are you lost in love or crazy
are you strong enough to love me

8. _ If You Sleep
figure of divine perfection
no one's loved with more affection
soul to soul we've breathed
oh i won't let the fates succeed
worried hours of contemplation
whispered bits of conversation
unaffected orderlies
disinfected rooms and hallways
and if you sleep you sleep with god
and if i cry it's for my heart
why should i hope to make it through
'cause if you sleep i'll sleep too
jagged thorns and pretty petals
butterflies and stinging nettles
sunny days and nights of blackness
but where's the joy to cure my sadness
chorus
gleaming cars and covered faces
teary eyes in hallowed places
grass and granite stone
no one's been more all alone
chorus

9. _ You Don't Know What It's Like
fortune frowned on me
she's a big girl and she got me
now i'm down the hall
i'm the last door on the east wing
you don't know what it's like to be like me
you don't know what it's like to go between
i'll write a weekly letter
and keep you wondering what it means
to be like me
someday i'll be strong
i'll find a nice girl and a new car
escape my destiny
i'm gonna break out i'm gonna shake out
chorus
i'll move to a strange and distant land
and change ever after who i am
chorus
i'll never get much better but i don't mind

10. _ (You Love) Like Nobody Loves Me
i'm a difficult man
i admit i'm not easy
at the drop of a tear
i can turn right away
and all the heartaches i've seen
one after another
can make a man mean enough
to feel afraid
and nobody cares no one really knows me
and nobody shares the other side of me
but you love like nobody loves me
i was there all the time
even i couldn't find me
so how did you see what made you believe
chorus
you delivered my heart
one beat at a time after time after time
chorus
so how did you see what made you believe

11. _ You're My Everything
every time that i look in your eyes
i know love never dies
oh baby
love is blind and i can't see
cupid's aimed his bow right at me
i love you and adore you you're all that life could bring
baby you're my everything
cynics sneer at fairy tales
they mock love and all its details
but we've got something magical those fools will never see
baby you're my everything
i can only stand for a moment or two
being without you
oh i know it sounds extreme
but baby you're my dream come true
yes we've got something magical those fools have never seen
baby you're my everything

12. _ Darker Side Of Blue
on a television screen
like a technicolour dream
i watch the crowd surround you
and you act so nonchalant
as you pass the debutantes
who know you as they found you
so what is it like on the inside
you live the high life
you walk in the room with your
attitude
you've got an awful lot to prove
at the end of the day
when you walk away
are you on the darker side of blue
you used to be
someone just like me
do you wonder what you're missing
and when the paparazzi stare
at your face and clothes and hair
do you wonder what they're whispering
so what is it like on the inside
you live the high life
chorus
so what will you say
when you've had your day
and it all fades away
chorus
lf you read the signs maybe you'll
find
you will accept my point of view
now how do you feel
now that you've seen it
are you on the darker side of blue
