1. _ It's My Life
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life (Don't you forget)
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose, I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It's my life

2. _ Today
(Mark Hollis / Simon Brenner / Paul Webb / Lee Harris)
Cover me with shades of disbelief
Can happiness be someone's else's dream
Numbers call to spell my name
Move about as values change
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream aw
Ay
Today Today
Governed by the title on the wall
Commit me to a life within a fool
Happiness can often bleed
Beggars lay among the sheep
Let me take the choice the sermon pleads
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Visions in my cell begin to breed
Was everything a fact of what I'd read
Excuse me while I spell my name
Boat and ship could sound the same
Catch me if you can but don't delay
Today Today
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away
Belle Malissima
Today Toda
Why
It's a dream away
Today Today
A dream away

3. _ Dum Dum Girl
Another sign with no regret
More coins inside her hand
One more time to own respect
No mercenary she stands
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl
Another hand upon her hair
Time probably erased distaste
And so she's left outside of guilt
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl

4. _ Happiness Is Easy
Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Happiness is easy
Standing on the sea
Happiness is easy
Jesus tried to love us all
Happiness is easy
Be a friend to me
Happiness is easy
Try to teach my children
To recognize excuse before it acts
From love and conviction to pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be
A friend to me
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

5. _ I Believe in You
Hear it in my spirit
I've seen heroin for myself
On the street so young laying wasted
Enough ain't it enough
Crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it starting
Tell me how I fear it
I buy prejudice for my health
Is it worth so much when you taste it?
Enough there ain't enough hidden hurt
A time to sell yourself
A time for passing

6. _ Desire
Desire
Whispered spoken
In time
Rivers oceans
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself
Of mind
Sheltered broken
Denied
Gifted stolen
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself

7. _ My Foolish Friend
Lay your hands into my hand
I've been rude
I don't care what you do
Some recall is not enough
I've seen a few
Creeping like you do
My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line
My foolish friend
Don't tell me if I'm right
Teenage tears the saving grace
Of this fool
But no one's watching you
Save this mirror for your face
There are two
No matter what you choose
My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line
My foolish friend
Don't tell me if I'm right
When I can really rebel
Yes I'm really saddened
My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life
Upon this weary line
My foolish friend
Don't try to live my life

8. _ Such a Shame
Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face and that's a change
Till I'm finally left with the eight.
Tell me to relax
I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share.
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage.
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste.
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame.
The dice beside my fate and that's a shame in these trembling hands.
My faith tells me to react I don't care
Maybe it's unkind if I should change a feeling that we share.
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
Tell me to relax
I just stare
Maybe I don't know
If I should change a feeling that we share.
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
Such a shame write across my name.
Such a shame this eagerness to change.

9. _ Give It Up
From the place that I stand
To the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black
By the trees that are vacant to greed
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
And the jokes just started
Gotta give it up,
Give it up,
Give it up
Gotta give it up
Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out
How can I learn
If I don't understand what I see
If I'm giving this mess
Take a walk through a nightmare so real
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
And the jokes just started
Gotta give it up,
Give it up,
Give it up
Gotta give it up
Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without
Give it up,
Give it up,
Give it up
Gotta give it up
Give it up,
Give it up
Gotta give it up
Tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out
Or tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without
Can do it
You can do it
You can do it
Gotta give up

10. _ Living in Another World
Better parted
I see people crying
Truth gets harder
There's no sense in lying
Help me find a way from this maze
I can't help myself
When I see tenderness before you left
That even breaking up was never meant
But only angels look before they tread
Better parted
I see people hiding
Speech gets started
There's no sense in writing
Help me find a way through this maze
I'm living,in another world with you
And I can't help myself
Did I see tenderness where you saw hell
Did I see angels in the hand I held
God only know's what kind of tale you'd tell

11. _ Life's What You Make It
Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it
Baby life's what you make it
Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked
Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

12. _ Talk Talk
Hey hey hey
What did I tell you before when I was up
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you talking in rhymes
Twisting round to make me think you're straight down the line
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk
Talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
If every sign that I see is complete
Then I'm a fool in your game
And all you want to do is tell me your lies
Won't show the other side you're just wasting my time
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what's right and what's wrong
Don't you ever stop to think about me
I'm not that blind to see that you've been cheating on me
And here you laugh at me when I'm up
I see you when you're crying for me when I'm down
I see you when you're laughing at me when I'm up
I see you when you're crying for me
All you do
To me is talk talk
Talk talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk talk talk talk
All you do to me is talk talk
