John Doe Number One (Robotham)
Knee-jerk...
What friendly force is watching over me?
What spirit helps maintain my sanity?
Conventionality controls our every move...
Random reaction, chance interaction
Don't ask... you don't want to know...
Self-preservation, recrimination
What reigns... chaos or control?
Why don't I ram the car right next to me?
'One millisecond changed my destiny'
One tiny action can unleash a tidal wave...
If I could break these bonds that shackle me
What then would I become, if I were free?
Notoriety's an end in itself
For those reluctant to conform
A form of fame much more rewarding than wealth
Some timeless respite from the norm?
Cast in stone, are the names of those
Who gave in to a knee-jerk whim
Acts obscene, on your TV screen
Guarantee immortality?
What makes me so different from the rest?
How is it I can keep my cool?
If one last straw can break the very best
Then what's to say that I won't, too?
Cast in stone, are the names of those
Who gave in to a knee-jerk whim
Acts obscene, on your TV screen
Immortality... ?
In Oklahoma or in Littleton
In Hungerford or in Dunblane
A fleeting second and the world will know
Those bereaved and those insane
What breaks a man remains a mystery
What makes him change the course of history?
Just hope that I'll keep on remaining unaware...
Random reaction...
Don't ask... you'll never really want to know... |
Escape (Boys)
When you first talked to me
Was I wrong to believe?
Did I misread your friendliness
Will I end up in a mess?
Maybe you just gave me my waking call
Is there any point at all?
Sit me down... put me straight...
We could walk into dreams
Turn my life in new themes
Why must I live in despair
Don't want to scare you, overbear
Hit me now let me down
It's all I know, bring me round
I dont want much from you...
Seeing time moving on
Bide my time, won't be long
Attitude fuels my soul
Pushing me to my goal
To my goal...
Head in a spin, 'way to go'
Feeling hurt, won't let it show
Textured pain spoils my flow
Don't want to feel this low
Feel this low...
Time to move on by
A case of laugh or cry...
Take me home, I want you
Escape with me, pull me through
Save my mind chase my dreams
I've had enough of tantrum scenes
Tantrum scenes...
The grass is greener there
My heart's on my sleeve, I swear...
Seconds go, day meets day
Will I know, will I stray
Salad days seem far away
Where my innocence held you away
Where did it go, I miss it now
I'm left here nothing to show
Help me out if it's not too late...
Time to move on by
A case of laugh or cry...
The grass is greener there
My heart's on my sleeve, I swear...
Time to move on by
It's just another case of laugh or... |
Proximity (Boys)
The future's looming up in front of me
But the colour isn't right
It's way too soon to say if we will see
That we could win the fight
There are things that I just have to say, if you would listen
I don't want to try to move away, it's not my vision
We've got a long long way to go today
And time will only tell
Think hard, you'll see that there's a better way
I know you will do well
My heart will never cease its beating, but I'm not sure
Whether all the time I'm spending thinking is a mindless bore
(Will you...) Come inside my mind
(Will you...) Tackle what you find
(Tell me...) All you hope to see
Will you always stay close?
The time will come one day, of that I'm sure
When you will walk away
Just as you see that I don't want to play
You're running back for more
You give me so much inspiration, when all is gone
I hope that you remain just as you are, when all is done
Help me to find the things you want from life
So that I can set them free
You could make the whole world sit up and say
'Why couldn't that be me?'
You have hope and chances for yourself
Don't let them go
Or you will end up being just like me
Because I know
(Will you...) Come inside my mind
(Will you...) Tackle what you find
(Tell me...) All you hope to see
Will you always stay... ? |
Call To Whoever (Boys)
Where can you go when there's so much ahead?
Pull up your headrest, climb into bed
Strive to enjoy when you've no other choice
No-one can help but echo your voice.
It's out of your hands, you're breaking down, why should you worry?
You're seeing red as people push on by
Can you be blamed for having a try?
Taking risks will never get you very far
Ducking in and out is just like war
Too busy saying sorry in the dance
Just being grateful, getting a chance
Take note of where you find you're headed for
Why can't the others see that far?
We start to move one by one, looking into gaps ahead
Don't know how long we'll keep moving
Before we lose the dying sun
There'll be no more new horizon
No more horizon
Why don't you leave me to go on, don't stop me getting near
I can't see the future being any better than I fear
There'll be no more new horizons
No more horizons
No more horizons
Saying you're sorry is too late by now
I've taken my time, now I've gotta throw in the towel
Just when I thought, but knew I shouldn't
It got me nowhere, when I thought that it couldn't
Time... time slips on
I... I slip up
I blunder on
Can someone... can someone interrupt?
Confuse your lies with what you said
But did I know what is going on in your head?
When I looked inside, you looked away
But you have nothing, which is all I have to say
How many more ways can I say I'm sorry
So many more ways to say you really care
Why can't you show me what you really want
No more pretentiousness, you've gotta get more in front
You're going nowhere, your fight is futile
I'm going nowhere, my fight is futile |
