Same Old Story
Sweet Surrender
Dream On
The Prize
All Fall Down
Time To Kill
Moon Madness
Follow Your Heart
All In One Day
Telling me the same old story
When the storm grows
I find your face behind your helpless hands
When the cracks show
In your mirrored mirrored eyes
When the words come round So splintered and predictable again
Then I find you
Chorus:
Telling me the same old story
Stories of love
Stories and lies
Stories of love
The same old story
Telling me the same old story
When the day goes
I can hear you crying out behind your paper smile
And the light that shines
Won't give you strength to talk to me at all
And the sound I hear
Is not the sound I want to hear from you
Cos you're always
(Chorus)
The same old story
Telling me the same old story
Telling me the same old story
Chorus:
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Searching the institution
Chasing the grand illusion
All the way, away
Turn every stone to find it
Filling my empty mind
It falls away, away
Chorus 2:
Beats on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
With your sweet surrender
Fill up my emotions
Like a wind fills out a sail
With your sweet surrender
(Chorus 2)
Finding the key to open
A heart that was never broken
With a smile, a smile
Look for whoever sold me
On a feeling nobody told me
Could be wild, so wild
(Chorus)
(Chorus 2)
(Chorus 2)
Chorus 3:
Beat on my devotions
Like a hammer hits a nail
It's a sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
(Chorus 3)
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
(Chorus 3)
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Sweet sweet sweet surrender
Hold my breath and pray for something
better
Close my eyes and wish for something better
Much better
Dream on
Dream on
I saw a day when there was no fight to fight
Dream on
Dream on
Nothing more, no hurting for no reason, what reason
Dream on
Dream on
I heard a world laugh together for a while
Dream on
Dream on
I saw the strength and the love behind the smiles
Dream on
Dream on
Something good for everyone to share, to care
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Chorus:
The prize is worth the working for
The prize is worth the waiting for
Waiting for years In the dirt and the tears
Is no compromise
Stand up and fight
For the right
To be someone in others eyes
The popular sin
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
Running up hills
And the battle of wills
Used to wear you down
The pressures of life
Used to cut like a knife
At this humble clown
The taunts and the jokes
Of the carnival chokes
On your fearful cries
The popular sound
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
You were the proud believer
Oh, don't you want the pride again
The prize
(Repeat chorus 4 times)
When I was a boy there's a dream that I
had
That a war if it's fought was for good against bad
And I woke up to find that the world had gone mad
And we'd all fall down
And I feel like a child again sitting observing
You're toying with power, your fingers are burning
You're pushing so hard that the worms won't be turning
We'll all fall down
While you try to pretend you're a god upon high
With your party ideals and your squeaky clean lies
When it comes to the crunch you're no smarter than I
And we'll all fall down
If it's colour or creed or your old time religion
Well fighting for that shows a pure lack of vision
The fight that we strive is the fight to survive
And we'll all fall down
Well look in the mirror and what do you see
An American, Russian, a soldier or me
When you've all pressed the buttons just where will you be
When we all fall down
It gets harder to see just what future's in store for us
Hard to see through all the wool you pull over us
Words that you give are just words to console us
We'll all fall down
And what will you do when you've pulled the release
When the sound of the thunder has drowned out the pleas
Cos after all that was your idea of peace
When we all fall down
No sun for a world that once stood still
No wind's going to blow and no rain's going to fall
No flowers for graves, in fact no graves at all
When we all fall down
Sitting on a train going round, round,
get around
Looking at the same old places
Going up, down, to and fro
Leave it all behind
It's a really good time
It's a really good waste of
Chorus:
Time for the taking
Turn it into something more than just
Time to kill
Driving down the road in a flip top motor car
Smiling at my strange reflection
Thinking buy one, have one,
Anyway you want one
It's a really bad time
It's a really bad waste of
(Chorus)
Watch those minutes turn to hours
Watch those hours turn to days
Watch those days turn into years
Time to kill
Talking with my friend on a seaside promenade
Whispering old conversations
Going chit chat, fancy that
Going on for hours
It's a really good time
It's a really bad waste of
(Chorus)
One more day in a vacuum
Drags me down
One bright thought in a black room
Drags me down, down, down
While it drags me down
Two of us tired of it all
And it drags me down
Picture us on a snow white charger
Picture us in a secret hideaway
Picture us with a million dollars
Moon madness again
One more life at a dead stop
Drags me down
Like a cat in a cage in a big top
Drags me down, down, down
Like strangers who nod on a station
Drag me down
Run dry on our conversations
Drags me down
Picture us on a wild adventure
Picture us as we sail around the world
Picture us with some happy moments
Moon madness again
One more day in a vacuum
Drags me down
One bright thought in a black room
Drags me down
One more head hits a wall
And it drags me down
Two of us tired of it all
And it drags me down
One more life at a dead stop
Drags me down
Like a cat in a cage in a big top
Drags me down
Strangers who nod on a station
Drag me down
Chorus:
Follow, follow, follow, follow your heart
There must be something to rely on
Follow your own way
Follow, follow, follow, follow your heart
There must be someone to depend on
Follow your own way
We were the listeners
Were believers of a thousand lies
Follow your heart
And it gave us what we have today
We heard the preachings
We heard the gospel
Tried to turn the tides
Follow your heart
Oh, as it washes our hopes away
(Chorus)
Don't ask the questions
Follow the leader
Just like a good boy will
Follow your heart
And I wonder what's in store for me
Don't need the prophets
Don't need the seer
Don't need the overkill
Follow your heart
And I wonder what could be
(Repeat chorus 3 times)
Strange how the change came
All in a day
Counting down and counting down
And waiting for the minute
We could touch a world
Where heart had love to offer
Heart-felt passion building around
Feel the love, feel the love
Sharing the strain
From where apathy reigns
For a dying world
All in one day
All in one day
When the hands reached out across an ocean
Everywhere
All in one day
All in one day
When the people came and stood together
Everywhere
All in one day
All in one day
When the hands reached out across an ocean
Everywhere
All in one day
All in one day
When the people came and stood together
Everywhere
Everywhere
