Artist’s lyrics:
Ten Minutes (You Were The One)
You had me for a while,
I was kneeling at your feet.
And gazing up at you,
Our future was sweet,
But you killed the magic, with your nonchalance,
We kissed in darkened streets,
You kept me from my bed,
I tolerated your tobacco and,
Worked with an aching head.
But you killed the passion,
By hanging with your friends.
But for the briefest moment…
You were the one, you were the one.
I answered all your questions,
You dissected my past,
You laid my feelings bare,
As you opened up my heart.
But you left me hanging,
On your thoughtlessness,
But for the briefest moment…
You were the one, you were the one…
Blowing hot and cold…
You drove me mad, you drove me mad
With no memory of pain,
Now I hold another’s hand,
No torture in my eyes,
As now I understand,
My deepest feelings
Always hanging by a thread,
But for the briefest moment…
You were the one, you were the one.
Shed a Tear
I wonder what you’re doing, now you’re all alone.
I wonder how you’re feeling, now you’re all alone.
I guess you must be happy, now you’re on your own.
I really doubt you miss me, now you’re on your own.
You didn’t need a lover, and you didn’t want a friend.
Didn’t need someone to talk to, didn’t want to hold my hand.
You didn’t need anybody, to try and understand,
Oh you didn’t want a partner and you didn’t want a man.
I wonder if you’re happy, now you’re on your own.
I hope that you’re happy, now you’re all alone.
You didn’t need affection, and you didn’t want my love.
Didn’t need a soul mate, didn’t want to feel my touch.
For you didn’t want salvation, you didn’t want to be a whore.
And you didn’t need protection, you didn’t want to be adored.
I wonder if you’re happy, now you’re on your own.
I hope that you’re happy, now you’re all alone.
But do you ever get lonely?
I wonder if you get lonely?
Do you ever get lonely..?
Do you shed a tear..? Do you ever shed a tear?
Do you shed a tear..? Do you ever shed a tear?
You didn’t need a shelter and you didn’t want a home.
You didn’t need the comfort, you didn’t want to settle down.
You didn’t need a future, you chose the open road,
You didn’t want redemption, you chose to be alone
I wonder if you’re happy, now you’re on your own.
I hope that you’re happy, now you’re all alone.
But do you ever get lonely?
I wonder if you get lonely?
Do you ever get lonely..?
Do you shed a tear..? Do you ever shed a tear?
Do you shed a tear..? Do you ever shed a tear?
Melt
Dim the lights, close the door.
We don’t need music anymore.
Stolen moment in your arms.
Skin on skin, soft and warm.
Hold your hand, and stroke your hair.
Hold you close, to believe you’re there.
I’d lie forever, in your arms,
Just to feel, safe from harm.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
Wishing I could stop the time,
For it will strip your arms from mine.
Tear my eyes from the ticking clock.
Savour the moment that we’ve got.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
My arms, surround you.
Romance, becomes you.
Your arms, enfold me,
Your touch, completes me.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I’m Only Dreaming
I’ve been dreaming about you lady,
Your long black hair and eyes so green,
I’ve been thinking about the summer,
Mixing sweat and sharing skin.
Walking, smiling now beside me,
Reaching for your hand…
But I’m only dreaming,
I’m only dreaming.
Ten years they pass so quickly,
Left behind the dreams of youth,
I’m living for the moment,
But I’m dreaming of you.
But I’m only dreaming…
The memories swirl like cotton,
Drifting in a sun soaked field,
I feel your skin, I hear your whisper, (am g and c7 g)
Against the crashing of the sea.
Tears flowing as I slumber,
Awakened pain of broken hearts,
But I’m only dreaming,
I’m only dreaming.
A Phone call from Mars
I called you today, despite the delay,
In your voice.
And I tried to explain, what I’d done with my day,
Through the noise.
I said ‘I’m ok’, and that I’d try again,
Later on.
You were holding back tears, as you bent to replace,
The ‘phone.
And I might as well be calling from Mars,
And I might as well be calling from Mars,
‘Cos I’m so far away.
It’s easier I find, to speak your mind,
Face to face.
It’s hard to relax, with a receiver attached,
To your face.
The plastic distorts, your innermost thoughts,
Every time.
Or the connection is bad, and you wish that you had,
A clean line.
And it feels like I’m calling from Mars.
And it feels like I’m calling from Mars.
‘Cos I’m so far away.
There’s no substitute, for standing beside you.
And my words alone, cannot reach out and hold you.
I wish I was there, I wish I could see you.
And it kills me to know that I can’t.
Cos you’re so far away.
And I might as well be calling from Mars,
And I might as well be calling from Mars,
And I might as well be calling from Mars, x2
‘Cos you’re so far away.
Little Miss Self-Destruct
Little Miss Self-Destruct crawls out of bed,
Looks in the mirror thinks how can I hurt myself
Today…I need to self destruct.
So she gets dressed and puts on her worst clothes,
Goes to meet a man she barely even knows,
So he can hurt her…and she implodes.
Little Miss Self-Destruct you’re hurting,
The ones that’re trying to help.
Little Miss Self-Destruct you’re dragging others,
Into your, into yout…self-obsessed hell.
Little Miss Self-Destruct snipes at her friends,
Little Miss Self-Destruct is lonely in the end,
Little Miss Self-Destruct betrays the ones
Who would defend her…from self destructing.
Little Miss Self-Destruct I want to help,
Little Miss Self-Destruct you know I care,
Little Miss Self-Destruct I’d always be there
If you need me…If you need me…
Just don’t insult me.
Little Miss Self-Destruct crawls into bed,
Takes a pill to still the voices in her head,
So she can rest…and forget…don’t self-destruct.
Le Boyfriend
Tell me guys, have you ever met a girl,
Who made your jaw drop? Who rocked your world?
She looked so perfect, your words just died,
But she made you laugh and made you melt inside.
She was an angel…
Well, you talk for an hour, about everything,
You feel a connection, you share a drink.
You think you’re winning, but then you freeze,
For out of the corner, he appears.
This is my boyfriend…(happened again)
Well, you grit your teeth, and you shake his hand,
You look in his eyes and you understand.
Why she’d prefer him, over you,
It’s painfully simple, and it’s nothing new.
He’s got a bigger dick, he’s got a faster car,
He’s got a better house, he’s gonna go so far.
He’s got a winning smile, he’s got perfect teeth,
He’s got deep blue eyes and a tight physique.
And you hate him…
But he’s a real nice guy, and he treats her right,
He whispers ‘I love you’ in the dead of night.
Fancy restaurants, and designer clothes,
He’s The King of Romance and the star of her show.
You want to kill him, (and maybe take his place)
And if you can’t kill him, you want to be him.
Chorus x 2 then
And he’s her boyfriend.
Revolution Tonight
(Larke: Larke 2008)
Walking in Trafalgar Square, revolution’s in the air,
See the people passing by, desperation in their eyes.
Desperation in their eyes
Then a man comes up to me, he says “Brother, are you free?”
Tells me we can put it right, start a revolution tonight.
Revolution tonight
Revolution’s in the air, but the people hardly care,
So I just shake my head, “Maybe another night instead”
Maybe another night instead
How can you watch the death, of one you love?
Just sit and watch the death, of what you love?
Revolution’s what we need; clean the guns off our streets,
Take our schools and cities back, teach the children some respect.
Teach the children some respect.
How will you take the death, of one you love?
How can you take the death, of one you love?
But we’re wealthy and we’re free, kid ourselves that we’re happy,
Time to stop believing the lie, start a revolution tonight
Revolution tonight
We can stop the death, of what we love,
Find the power to stop the death, of what we love
We Need Heroes
What’s the use in trying?
I hear so many people cry.
There’s no sense in dying,
You’ve got to keep yourself alive…They say
There’s no dead man,
Ever enjoyed the spoils of war,
There’s no martyr,
Saw the end of what he died for.
But I say
We need heroes,
Dried blood and rusted nails,
Driven through the bone,
Forsaken on his cross,
A hero dies alone,
Raising his misting eyes,
Defiant to the sky,
He spends his dying breath,
On a lonely battle-cry…He says
We need heroes, in this sickened world.
My God, We Need Heroes
The years are littered,
With the graves of those who died,
Dark weapons forged to end,
The lives of those who try.
We need heroes, in this sickened world.
My God, We Need Heroes
Worth fighting?
Worth dying?
For a chance at peace?
Worth fighting?
Worth dying?
For what you believe?
And I say…
We need heroes, in this sickened world.
My God, We Need Heroes
He’s lying by the side of the road,
A bullet in his chest,
Food for the scavengers
That profit from distress. So I say…
We need heroes, in this sickened world.
My God, We Need Heroes
Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Smith
Hands across the ocean, you smile to hide the pain.
Waiting at the airport, in your hands you hold his name,
You try your best to hide it, but he sees it in your eyes,
Your smile is tinged with sorrow, a pain you can’t disguise.
And lying awake at night, sometimes you cry yourself to sleep.
In the darkness hear her soft voice whisper, “Darling, don’t you weep’
Don’t cry, don’t cry, my dear
You show him round your hometown, smile at all his jokes,
Try your best to laugh with him, at the things you cherish most.
And later on, when he’s gone away, you cry into your beer,
You’re running for the last train, his laughter echoes in your ears.
Don’t cry, don’t cry, Tanaka-san,
Nakanai de, nakanai de, Tanaka-san.
Kokoro no naka de naite
Nihon no koto o naite
Waving at the airport, and you’re sighing with relief,
A burden lifted from you, as you watch his plane take-off.
But you know deep in your heart, that he’ll be back again someday,
He, and others like him, their world’s smaller everyday.
Cry for the past, cry for the past, Tanaka-san
In your wounded heart, cry for Japan.
Distance
I…seduced by bright lights, moved away.
I chose a life so far away.
I…suppose I thought you’d never change.
I wanted things to stay the same.
But distance, more than physical.
I never realised.
And in your eyes I see the distance where I once saw only love.
Almost tangible, you reach for me and I feel it in your touch.
I…now realise the choice I made.
When I chose to run away.
I…never once believed I was,
Turning my back on those I love.
But hindsight may be critical.
And emotions dulled by time.
And in your eyes I see the distance where I once saw only love.
Almost tangible, you reach for me and I feel it in your touch.
I never thought that you would move on,
I never thought we’d drift apart.
But it’s hard to build a future,
When you’re living in the past.
I…felt like a stranger in my home,
So familiar, so unknown.
What I once thought was set in stone.
Now changed before my eyes.
For in your eyes I saw the distance where I once saw only love.
I saw it on your face, in your smile and I felt it in your touch.
For in your eyes I saw the distance and the seeds of apathy.
And in the aftermath I wonder, did you see the change in me?
Melt
Dim the lights, close the door.
We don’t need music anymore.
Stolen moment in your arms.
Skin on skin, soft and warm.
Hold your hand, and stroke your hair.
Hold you close, to believe you’re there.
I’d lie forever, in your arms,
Just to feel, safe from harm.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
Wishing I could stop the time,
For it will strip your arms from mine.
Tear my eyes from the ticking clock.
Savour the moment that we’ve got.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
My arms, surround you.
Romance, becomes you.
Your arms, enfold me,
Your touch, completes me.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I would melt in your arms…tonight
If you…weren’t melting in mine.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
I could melt in your arms, I could die here tonight.
I’d forsake everything, to stay by your side.
