A Broken Frame
Leave in Silence
I've told myself
so many times before
But this time
I think I mean it for sure
We have reached
a full stop
Nothing's gonna
save us from the big drop
Reached our
natural conclusion
Outlived the
illusion
I hate being
in these situations
That call for
diplomatic relations
If I only knew
the answer
Or I thought
we had a chance
Or I could
stop this
I would stop
this thing from spreading like a cancer
What can I say?
(I don't want to play) anymore
What can I
say? I'm heading for the door
I can't stand
this emotional violence
Leave in silence
We've been running
around in circles all year
Doing this
and that and getting nowhere
This'll be
the last time
(I think I
said that last time)
If I only had
a potion,
Some magical
lotion
That could
stop this, I would stop this
I would set
the wheels in motion
What can I say?
(I don't want to play) anymore
What can I
say? I'm heading for the door
I can't stand
this emotional violence
Leave in silence
My Secret Garden
My secret garden's
not so secret anymore
Run from the
house holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected,
feeling like a child might feel
It all seems
so absurd that this should have occurred
My very only
secret and I had to go and leak it
My secret garden's
not so secret anymore
No, my secret
garden's not so secret anymore
Run through
the fields down to the edge of the water
Can't stay
long, here comes the reason why
She'll catch
me if she can, take me by the hand
I'll have to
keep on running and I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden
not being secret anymore
It used to be
so easy on days such as these she'd
Search and
search for hours, in among the flowers
I loved it, I loved her
Play the fool,
act so cruel (I loved it)
Read a book,
take a look (I loved her)
It all seems
so absurd that this should have occurred
My very only
secret and I had to go and leak it
My secret garden's
not so secret anymore
Monument
When the site
was found we laid the foundations down
It didn't take
long before they came back tumbling down
Don't build
at night, you need a little light
How else you
gonna see what it's gonna be like?
So we picked
up our tools and we worked in the morning light
With the last
stone placed wasn't it a wonderful sight?
But it fell
back down and scattered all around
Anything passes
when you need glasses
My monument
it fell down
Work all of
my days for this kind of praise
It fell down

See You
All I want to
do is see you again
Is that too
much to ask for?
I just want
to see your sweet smile
Smiled the
way it was before
Well I'll try
not to hold you
And I'll try
not to kiss you
And I won't
even touch you
All I want to
do is see you
Don't you know
that it's true
I remember the
days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on
a bench for a while
I treasure
the way we used to laugh and play
And look in
each others eyes
You can keep
me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance
But I swear
I won't touch you
All I want to
do is see you
Don't you know
that it's true
Well I know
five years is a long time
And that times
change (oh that times change)
But I think
that you will find
People are
basically the same (basically the same)
If the water's
still flowing, we can go for a swim
And do the
things we used to do
And if I'm
reluctant you can pull me in
And we can
relive our youth
Oh but we'll
stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think
I still love you
All I want
to do is see you
Don't you know
that it's true?
Satellite
Now hear this
my friends
I'll never
be the same again
Gonna lock
myself in a cold black room
Gonna shadow
myself in a veil of gloom
I will function,
operate
I will be a
satellite of hate
Driven to this
point by a chain of events
Each one pushed
me nearer the edge
Gonna send
my message through to you
And you'll
receive the signal too
I will function,
operate
I will be a
satellite of hate
Higher
Disillusioned,
I was disenchanted
Forgot the
love that had been implanted
Heard the lies
and I felt the cold
It broke my
heart and I lost control
Now I'm a satellite
of a free state
I'm a satellite
of hate
A satellite
of hate
Higher
The Meaning of Love
I've read more
than a hundred books
Seen love mentioned
many thousand times
But despite
all the places I've looked
It's still
no clearer it's just not enough
I'm still no
nearer the meaning of love
Noted down all
my observations
Spent an evening
watching television
Still I couldn't
say with precision
Know it's a
feeling and it comes from above
But what's
the meaning, the meaning of love?
The meaning
of love
Tell me the
meaning of love
From the notes
that I've made so far
Love seems
something like wanting a scar
But I could
be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never
been in love before
Next I asked
several friends of mine
If they could
spare a few minutes of their time
Their look
suggested that I'd lost my mind
Tell me the
answer, my Lord high above
Tell me the
meaning, the meaning of love
The meaning
of love
Tell me the
meaning of love
From the notes
that I've made so far
Love seems
something like wanting a scar
But I could
be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,
I've never
been in love before
Tell me the
meaning of love

A Photograph of You
What good is
a photograph of you?
Every time
I look at it
It makes me
feel blue
What use is
a souvenir of something
We once had
When all it
ever does is
Make me feel
bad
I wish I could
tear it up
But then again
I haven't the guts
I wish I could
throw it on the fire
I wish I could
But to say
I would
I'd be a liar
What good is
a color print of a little baby doll?
When just one
little glance is enough to make me feel dull
I wish I would
misplace it
But then I
take such good care of it
I wish it would
disappear
I say I wish
But then I
relish it being here
What good is
a photograph of you?
Every time
I look at it
It makes me
feel blue
Shouldn't Have Done That
Plans made in
the nursery
Can change
the course of history
Remember that
Mommy's annoyed
Says go and
play
Don't show
your face
Stay away all
day
Shouldn't have
done that
Small boy and
his infantry
Marching around
so naturally
Shouldn't have
done that
Grows up and
goes to school
Such a nice
boy, obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud
of that
Leaves school
To follow his
ambition
Knows what
he wants
To be a politician
Shouldn't have
done that
The Sun & The Rainfall
Someone will
call
Something will
fall
And smash on
the floor
Without reading
the text
Know what comes
next
Seen it before
And it's painful
Things must
change
We must rearrange
them
Or we'll have
to estrange them
All that I'm
saying
The game's
not worth playing
Over and over
again
You're the one
I like best
You retain
my interest
You're the
only one
If it wasn't
for you
Don't know
what I'd do
Unpredictable
like the sun
And the rainfall
Things must
change
We must rearrange
them
Or we'll have
to estrange them
All that I'm
saying
The game's
not worth playing
Over and over
again
