Get the Message: The Best of Electronic

you're all that I need
you remind me of me
you come from my soul
you're part of my tree
I don't know what I'm saying
cuz I'm so out of touch
I don't mind if we stay in
cuz I love you so much

They got it all wrong
cuz they don't understand
Just words in this song
and it comes from my head
and I find myself flying
at the edge of the world
we both need each other
like a boy needs a girl

and they got it all wrong

what does it cost to shut your mouth
let's pack our bags and we'll both head south
I'm feeling strange
I've lost my sight
you're out of range
but it's alright


I'm so busy praying
I was down on my knees
I didn't know what I was saying
I just wanted to please
I was thrown out of jail
for behaving to well
I was given my freedom
I was robbed of my reason

They got it all wrong

What does it cost to shut your mouth
let's pack our bags and we'll both head south
I'm feeling strange,
I've lost my sight
you're out of range,
but it's alright

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll lead the climb, crystal and fine
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

Stay with me
In this foreign land
Just long enough for me
To make you understand
You could be my guiding light
The darkest of them all
You'd be the rise before my fall
And yet we both
Get along fine
Better than most
Some of the time
When I'm with you
I am on fire
You are the fuel
And my desire

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll even climb,
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

What do you bring
What I can't possess
You always ask for more
Until there's nothing left
These hollow words
Make a wrong arrest
They beat upon my door
A spirit haunts forever more
But still I hope
And sometimes I pray
It won't be hard
We'll find a way
Color my dream
Show me I'm real
Turn on the light
Then let me feel

Can we meet on the street
Maybe tomorrow
See the world at our feet
Naked and hollow
I'll lead the climb, crystal and fine
For you to see
With every step that I take
Every rule that you make

Have you ever been a victim in a violent fight
When you know it's not true and you know it's not right
Got not one ounce, inch of control

You got lust for blood runnin' in your soul
You know if every person upon this earth
Became the image of the mother in a violent birth
We could sow the seed, toss up the sand

And heal this brutal beat-up land
If there's a place to be why don't you come with me
Listen to your father, listen to your brother
Take every chance that comes, maybe you'll find someone

We don't need to argue, we just need each other
There's a mirror on the table, if you feel you could use it
Don't be ashamed, go ahead just do it
Protect your cranium, let it explode

Put your faith in the mother lode
Now if all this seems to be eccentric
Be aware be sure I meant it
The tunnel of love has got no end

I'm well received, but I don't send

I use to think that I was lonely
When I was a young boy
Doing what they told me
(Living rather coldly)
Too many lessons in the school class
Stated my allegiance
Mixing with the wrong class
I lived at home with all my family
Even had my own key
It was given to me
(Parents listened to me)
Allowed to be alone
(Then left me alone)
There was never any friction
Starring in my own film
(A starring role in my film)
It was my addiction
(It was science fiction)
You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
It's there in your face
But it won't stay for long
Let's be a nation
And sit upon a throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on
The older boys were rather surly
Living in the wrong place
Made me grow up early
But it was my home
As I complete my own existence
Staring at my own life
(I look at the old one)
Fading in the distance
Down a semitone
Smiling faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Unemployed forever watch TV at home
You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
It's there in your face
But it won't stay for long
Let's be a nation
And sit upon a throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

My imagination wants to see
The vivid colours of reality
There's a place out there beyond my grasp
A revolution in a looking glass
I've got to get this problem off my chest
I'm sick and tired of being second best
I'll rearrange my credibility
A fundraiser for a restless sea

Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you?
Won't you forgive me?
What are you gonna do?
Don't ever doubt me
What's come over you?
Won't you forgive me?
What are you gonna do?
What will you do?

I can't contain what's inside my head
I'm using words that I must have read
Do you remember the time we spent?
It seems that we were the main event
Have you a reason to behave like this?
Maybe you need a psychoanalyst
If you keep pushing me out of the door, for sure
You'll never see me again

No one to talk to
What am I gonna do?
You're never there
Right when I need you
Give me a cause
Give me a reason
For your applause
I'll commit treason

And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
You're not to blame
So don't you cry
You don't need me
So hurt my pride
And all the time
I know we tried
Line by line and side by side
And still I pray
That we'll get by
But it don't seem real
And I don't know why

And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
You're not to blame
So don't you cry
You don't need me
So hurt my pride
And in my mind
I know I'm right
It's the same thing every night
Why do you cry?
You're not to blame
When will you change this sad refrain?

This sad refrain...
Oh, when will you change
This sad refrain?
When will you change this sad refrain
