History Will Teach Us Nothing
Sting
From his album: "...Nothing Like The Sun" If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast

If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse

Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child

Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

Convince an enemy, convince him he's wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away

History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Know your human rights
Be what you come here for

Moon Over Bourbon Street
(first two verses)
Sting
From his album: "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight,
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight,
I've no choice but to follow that call,
The bright lights, the people, and the moon, and all.
I pray everyday to be strong,
for I know what I do must be wrong,
Oh, you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet,
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street.

It was many years ago that I became what I am,
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb.
Now I can never show my face at noon,
and you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon.
The brim of the hat hides the eye of a beast,
I've the face of a sinner, but the hands of a priest.
Oh, you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet,
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street.

Murder by Numbers
The Police (Sting) Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

Because it's murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome of a threesome
If you find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find at fault

Because it's murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's

Well you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
And you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to life a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers
One, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDE's....

If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
Sting
From his album: "Ten Summoner's Tales" You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the Holy Church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politician
They all look like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do

I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face

I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do.

Love Is Stronger Than Justice
Sting
From his album: "Ten Summoner's Tales" This is a story of seven brothers
We had the same father but different mothers
We keep together like a family should
Roaming the country for the common good
It came to pass one fateful day
We found ourselves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the P.T.A.
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay
We'd only stopped for a few burritos
But they told us of the trouble with los banditos
A poor little town in need of aid
My bothers and me had never been afraid
The age of chivalry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There'd be a bride for every man
Who chased away the evil gang

Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood

The outcome was predictable
Our banditos were despicable
Of blood we lost a dozen litres
A small price to pay for los senoritas
The town mayor was happy but his face was glum
The maidens numbered only one
But there weren't seven brides for seven brothers
I knew I had to get rid of the others
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood

Mother told me I was the clever one
The seventh son of a seventh son
It all ended so happily
I settled down with the family
I look forward to a better day
But ethical stuff never got in my way
And though there used to be brothers seven
The other six are singing in Heaven

Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
The Police (Sting)
from The Police album: "Zenyatta Mondatta" Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
That only choice I've left unsung
From the banks of chaos in my mind
When their eloquence escapes me
their logic ties me up and rapes me

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Their innocence will pull me through
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
No one's jamming their transmission
When their eloquence escapes you
their logic ties you up and rapes you

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Their innocence will pull me through
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
They're meaningless and all that's true

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
Their innocence will pull me through

St. Augustine In Hell
Sting
From his album: "Ten Summoner's Tales" If somebody up there likes me somebody up there cares
Deliver me from evil save me from these wicked snares
Not into temptation, not to cliffs to fall
On to revelation, and lesson for us all
She walked into the room on the arm of my best friend
I knew whatever happened our friendship would end
Chemical reaction, desire at first sight
Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights

The minute I saw her face the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one
You've got to understand me, I'm not a piece of wood
Francis of Assisi could never be this good
I don't know if it's pain or pleasure that I seek
My flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak
I was deadly certain his thoughts for me weren't kind
A switchblade in his pocket, murder on his mind

(spoken interlude)
Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. Hell is full of high court judges, failed saints. We've got cardinals, archbishops, barristers, certified accountants, music critics, they're all here. You're not alone, you're never alone, not here you're not. Okay, break's over!

The less I need the more I get
Make me chaste but not just yet
It's a promise or a lie I'll repent before I die

The minute I saw her face the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw her face the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

King Of Pain
The Police (Sting)
From the Police album: "Synchronicity" There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black cat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today (It's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday (It's my soul up there)
There's a black cat caught in a high tree top (It's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop (It's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall (It's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (It's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb (It's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web (It's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack (It's my soul up there)
There's a blackwing gull with a broken back (It's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain....

Secret Journey
The Police (Sting)
From the Police album: "Ghost In The Machine" Upon a secret journey,
I met a holy man,
his blindness was his wisdom,
I'm such a lonely man.
And as the world was turning,
it groaned itself in pain.
This does not seem to touch him,
he pointed to the rain.
You will see light in the darkness,
you will make some sense of it.
When you've made your secret journey,
you will find this lucky man.

And on the days that followed,
I listened to his words,
I strained to understand them,
I chased his thoughts like birds.
You will see light in the darkness,
You will make some sense of it.
When you've made your secret journey,
you will find this lucky man.

You will see light in the darkness,
You will make some sense of it,
You will see an end to sadness,
You will find it's love you miss.
When you've made your secret journey,
you will be a holy man.

Message In A Bottle
The Police (Sting)
From their album: "Reggata De Blanc" Just a castaway, I am lost at sea,
Another lonely day, no one here for me,
More loneliness than any man could bear,
Rescue me before I fall into despair.

I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
Message in a bottle.
Message in a bottle.

A year has past since I wrote my note,
I should have known this right from the start,
Only hope can keep me together,
Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart.

I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
Message in a bottle.
Message in a bottle.

Woke up this morning can't believe what I saw,
A hundred million bottles washed up on the shore,
Seems I'm not that lonely being alone,
Hundred Million castaways looking for a home.

I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world,
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
I hope that someone gets my,
Message in a bottle.
Message in a bottle.

Nothing 'Bout Me
Sting
From his album: "Ten Summoner's Tales" Lay my head on the surgeon's table,
Take my fingerprints, if you are able.
Pick my brain, pick my pockets,
Steal my eyeballs, and come back for the sockets.
Run every kind of test from A to Z,
And you'll still know nothing 'bout me.

Run my name through your computer,
Mention me in passing to your college tutor.
Check my records, check my facts,
Check if I paid my income tax.
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you'll still know nothing 'bout me.

You don't read to no books on my history,
I'm a simple man, it's no big mystery.
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove,
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love.

Search my house with a fine tooth comb,
Turn over everything 'cause I won't be at home.
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see,
You'll still know nothing 'bout me.

Shape Of My Heart
Sting
From his album: "Ten Summoner's Tales" He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect.
He doesn't play for the money he wins,
He doesn't play for respect.
He deals the cards to find the answer,
The sacred geometry of chance.
The hidden law of a probable outcome,
The numbers lead a dance.

I know that the spades are swords of the soldier,
I know the clubs are weapons of war,
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
But that's not the shape of my heart.

He may play the jack of diamonds,
He may lay the queen of spades.
He may conceal a king in his hand,
While the memory of it fades.

I know that the spades are swords of the soldier,
I know the clubs are weapons of war,
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
But that's not the shape of my heart.

And if I told you that I loved you,
You'd maybe think there's something wrong,
I'm not a man of too many faces,
The mask I wear is one.
Those who speak know nothing,
And find out to their cost,
Like those who curse their luck in too many places,
And those who fear are lost.

I know that the spades are swords of the soldier,
I know the clubs are weapons of war,
I know that diamonds mean money for this art,
But that's not the shape of my heart.

Demolition Man
The Police (Sting)
From their album: "Ghost In The Machine" Strapped to the tracks and the train's fast coming,
Strapped to the wing with the engine running,
You say that this wasn't in your plan,
Don't mess around with the Demolition Man.

Tied to a chair and the bomb is ticking,
The situation was not of your picking,
You say that this wasn't in your plan,
Don't mess around with the Demolition Man.

I'm a walking nightmare,
I'm a hustler of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
I'm a three-line whip, I'm a solitary man,
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man.

You come to me like a moth to a flame,
It's love you need, but I don't play that game,
You could be my greatest fan,
I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man.

I'm a walking nightmare,
I'm a hustler of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
I'm a three-line whip, I'm a solitary man,
I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man.

Too Much Information
The Police (Sting)
From their album: "Ghost In The Machine" Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
I've seen the whole world six times over,
Seen the banks to the cliffs of Dover,
I've seen the whole world six times over,
Seen the banks to the cliffs of Dover.

Overkill, over you, over my dead body,
Over me, over you, over everybody.

Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,

Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,

Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
I've seen the whole world six times over,
Seen the banks to the cliffs of Dover,
I've seen the whole world six times over,
Seen the banks to the cliffs of Dover.

Overkill, over you, over my dead body,
Over me, over you, over everybody.

Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane,
Too much information running through my brain,
Too much information driving me insane.

Be Still My Beating Heart
Sting Be still my beating heart,
It would be better to be cool.
It's not time to be open just yet,
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget.
Be still my beating heart,
I'll be taken for a fool.
It's not healthy to run at this pace,
The blood runs to red to my face.
I've been through every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so.

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean,
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion.
Stop before you start,
Be still my beating heart.

Restore my broken dreams,
Shattered like a falling glass.
I'm not ready to be broken just yet,
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget.

Be still my beating heart,
You must learn to stand your ground.
It's not time to be open just yet,
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget.
Be still my beating heart,
I'll be taken for a fool.
It's not healthy to run at this pace,
The blood runs to red to my face.
I've been through every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so.

Stop before you start,
Be still my beating heart.

Never to be wrong.
Never to make promises that break.
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake.
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land,
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand.

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean,
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion.
Stop before you start,
Be still my beating heart.

Island Of Souls
Sting
From his album: "Soul Cages" Billy was born within sight of a shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the hip threw a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun

And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future,
Of money he never would save
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched a great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town

Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
Brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

That night, he dreamed of the ship in the world
That would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls.

In This Life
Collin Raye With all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch, you set me free

Let the world stop turning
let the the sun stop burning
let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

With every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

Let the world stop turning
let the the sun stop burning
let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

Total Eclipse of the Heart

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the light
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do I'm always in the dark
I'm living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight
forever's gonna start tonight
forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
now I'm only falling apart
there's nothing I can do: a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life now there's only love in the dark
nothing I can say: a total eclipse of the heart a total eclipse of the heart
Turn around, bright eyes
turn around, bright eyes
turn around

Take A Bow
Madonna Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtain's down
There's no one here (there's no one here there's no one in the crowd)

Say your lines, but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around
Watching you watching me
One lonely star (One lonely star you don't know who you are)

-Chorus-
I've always been in love with you (always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (you've known its true)
You took my love for granted why oh why
This show is over say goodbye
Say goodbye say goodbye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Hide behind your smile
All the world loves a clown (just make them smile the whole world loves a clown)

Wish you well I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played
No more masquerade
You're one lonely star

-Chorus x2-
Say goodbye say goodbye

All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break (you'd break you'd break you'd break)
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known
You took my love for granted why oh why
This show is over say goodbye

-Chorus-
Say goodbye say goodbye
Say goodbye

I'll Remember
Madonna
Say goodbye, not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say goodbye, not knowing how
To cry you taught me that

And I'll remember the strength that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you saved me
I'll remember

Inside, I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside, I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing

And I'll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember

I learned to let go
Of the illusion that we can possess
I learned to let go
I travel in stillness
And I remember
Happiness
I'll remember

And I'll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember....

A Kind of Magic
Queen It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream, one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be

It's a kind of magic,
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a mind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It's a challenging the doors of time

It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity

It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand year
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies

It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be gone

This is a kind of magic
There can only be one
This life that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone

Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic
It's a kind of magic

Don't Lose Your Head
Queen Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
No don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Hear what I say

Don't lose your way - yeah
Remember, love's stronger
Remember love walks tall
Don't lose your heart,
No don't lose your heart
Hear what I say

Don't lose your way - yeah
Remember, love's stronger
Remember love walks through walls
Don't drink and drive my car,
Don't get breathalised

Don't lose your head
If you make it to the top
And you wanna stay alive
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
No don't lose your head
Hear what I say - yeah

Hey, don't lose your way
Remember, love's stronger
Remember love conquers all
Don't lose your head,
Don't lose your head.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Elton John When I think of those East End Lights,
Muggy nights,
Curtains drawn in the little room downstairs,
Prima dona, lord, you really should have been there,
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair,
And it's one more beer, and I don't hear you anymore,
We've all gone crazy lately,
My friends' down there, rolling 'round the basement floor.

-Chorus-
And someone saved my life tonight, sugarbear.
Almost had your hooks in me, did you dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied,
Alter-bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear,
You're a butterfly,
And butterflies are free to fly, fly away,
High away, bye-bye.

Never realized the passing hour,
Of evening showers,
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams,
And strangled by a haunted social scene,
Just a porn out-played by a dominating queen,
It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it!
Listen to me good!
I'm sleeping with myself tonight,
Safe in time, thank God my music's still alive.

And someone saved my life tonight...
-Chorus-

I would have walked head on to the deep end of the river,
Clinging to your stocks and bonds,
Playing your HP demands forever,
Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home...

Someone saved my life tonight,
Someone saved my life tonight,
Someone saved my life tonight,
Someone saved my life tonight,
Someone saved my life tonight,

So save your strength, and round the fields you play alone...

Someone saved my life tonight, sugarbear....
-Chorus-

When I'm Back On My Feet Again
Michael Bolton Gonna break these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard may be hard but I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again.

Soon these tears will all be dry and
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time might take time but I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again.

When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down this street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that I'm strong.

We're all gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long won't be long till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again.

I'm gonna feel the sweet light of Heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day one sweet day I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again.

When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down this street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that I'm strong.

And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cause I'll learn to be strong.

Soon these tears will all be dry and
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long won't be long till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again.

When I'm back on my feet again.

I'll be back on my feet again.

Too Much
Dave Matthews Band Straight in, suck up and go,
Cool it, swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all
It comes cheap
Push it through the doors
Because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
So I can get in

Ooh traffic jam got more cars
Than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
Fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
To me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much

I've got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, maybe
You're dreaming
Who do you think you're watching
Who do you think you need
Play for me, play more,
Ten times in the same day
I need more, I'm going
Over my borders
I'm going to take more, more
From you, letter by letter

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much

I told god, I'm coming
To your country
I'm going to eat up your cities,
Your homes, you know
I've got a stomach full it's not
A chip on my shoulder
I've got this growl in my tummy
And I'm gonna stop it today

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much

Suck it up....
