See the sword hang over my head
Tied my fate to the weight of this thread
How in God’s name could we let
These rivers run so red today
Damocles I see what you’ve seen
The price to pay for daring to dream
Accusations everywhere
I wont play electric chairs today
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you
There’s a king living in everyone
Gather round bring your gifts or your guns
See the battle up ahead
We can die or fight instead today
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you
Everybody needs something
Everybody got needs
Everybody needs someone
Everybody got needs
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you

Yes I know I should not do this
I wonder why my heartʼs so foolish
Itʼs my weakness for temptation
Thatʼs led me to this situation
If thereʼs a reason for refusing
Itʼs just not one Iʼm good at choosing
I know suspicion around me is growing
Thereʼs only one way this is going to end
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
From you
Let me go, you know I need to
Yes I know you see through
My intention unfit to mention
Itʼs late, itʼs late, itʼs late
And I really should be on my way
To higher ground
Be safe and sound away, away, away, away
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
From you
From you, from you
I try to walk away, I walk away from you
I try to look away, I walk away from you
From you, from you, from you, from you
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
Ooh ooh
Get out my head
You know Iʼve no resistance
I’ve no resistance
I’ve no resistance from you
I’ve no resistance
From you, from you, from you, from you.

The proof is on the skin
A lifetime of bruises
I’m tired of giving in
So no more excuses
Don’t think I won’t walk away
Don’t think that everything’s okay
Don’t think I won’t start again
The paleness of the skin
It tells me it’s time to
Let the sunshine in
It tells me it’s time to go
Get out of this hole
Don’t think I won’t walk away
Don’t think that everything’s okay
Don’t think I won’t start again
I did it once and I can do it again
The heart’s a volunteer
Sometimes it’s lost, sometimes it steers
The heart can learn to change
So don’t think I won’t start again
Don’t think I won’t walk away
Don’t think that everything’s okay
Don’t think I won’t start again
I did it once and I can do it again
Don’t think I won’t walk away
Don’t think that everything’s okay
Don’t think I won’t start again
Don’t think I won’t start again

Are you ready to start, are you ready to go
Could you blow the whistle loud enough to wake up the world
Hey hey and seize a brand new opportunity
Hey hey but don’t forget to leave some room for me.
Are you ready to listen, are you ready to roll
There’s a conversation missing from your side of the road
Hey hey, yeah there’s a voice that needs some harmony
Hey hey, yeah there’s a voice that wants to say
Listen to me
Listen to me
Are you ready to sing, are you ready to shout
Could you spare a little secret, could you let it all out
Hey hey I know there’s something you can share with me
So blow the whistle and reveal
All those sins tonight
It could ease your mind
You’ll find a lighter chest can breathe more easily
Hey hey right now I want to hear you say
Listen to me
Listen to me

Praying hands, open hearts, yeah
Reaching out the stars
Will we stand or fall apart
Beneath our skin full of scars
We’re all the same
Two sides of one game
It’s like musical chairs
One world to share
Another time and maybe I’d
Find myself in your shoes
The subtleties of geography
Decides who wins or if you lose
We’re all the same
Two sides one game
It’s like musical chairs
One world to share
Now I stare around and wonder
Who made all these walls
How did we end up out here
When outside is no side at all.
We’re all the same
Two sides one game
It’s like musical chairs
One world to share

Crying in silence
Living in pain
Dreading the mornings
All i’ve done was in vain
More disappointment
Than i could ever explain
I have not shed tears yet
But they're on their way
I should leave these thoughts behind
I just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now i’m better while you’re not around
While you’re not around
Leaving my memories
In the back on my mind
Only to recall them
To feel the power of time
It changes your opinion
Makes you have doubts
Whilst I run out of patience
A fire has to burn out
i should leave these thoughts behind
i just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now i’m better while you’re not around
While you’re not around
Oh it’s funny isn’t it
The way you’re messing with me
Leaving me to wonder
What you think you need
Why the hell did you make me wait
Like a flower wait for rain
You were my sunshine
Now you’re just a stain of the back of my mind
That i can’t rub away
You’re the scar on the face
Of a wounded soldier
I should leave these thoughts behind
I just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now i’m better while you’re not around
While you’re not around

When I was twelve I thought I’d be
King of the world by twenty three
Aye aye
But then one day I closed my eyes
And found a world that lives inside
Now I…
I feel free
I’m in a maze, you’d be amazed
How deep it’s getting day by day
Aye aye
It never stops it never ends
But it’s Okay cause I’ve got friends
That’s why..
I feel free, no walls around me
I feel, I feel, I feel free
No walls around me
No rules to break or bend
I hope tonight don’t end
I hope tonight don’t end
Peculiarly I found a theme
That’s ringing out inside my dreams
Aye aye
Its like the echo of a song
Sung before the world ‘got born’
Now I..
It’s hypnotised me
Lit the lights inside me
Now I don't recognise me.
Aye, aye, aye..
I feel free, no walls around me
I feel, I feel, I feel free
No walls around me
No rules to break or bend
I hope tonight don’t end
I hope tonight don’t end

Caught your face with attitude cutting through
Repeating lines I'd often spoken to you
Using good looks to get your own way
Thrown in the deep end shouting help me please
Talk a lot while the joke's going round
Sat on the fence until they dragged you back down
Looking for freedom, never finding the truth
Something that happened long ago
Now to me your confidence is shot
Your drinking cheap wine from a paper cup
All your power couldn't get you away
And now you're screaming cos you're on your knees
If someone told you that the mind is blank
Would it really matter, would it make you think
No time for worship for the chosen few
Something that happened long ago
Something that happened long ago
Was it something that happened long ago
Long ago
Something that happened long ago
Was it something that happened long ago
Something that happened long ago
Hey, hey, something that happened long ago
Hey, hey, something that happened long ago

Let me ask you
A simple question
About something that you thought you knew
You're self righteous
All knowing, d'you
think you'd get away with what you do?
I can see straight,
Straight through you
And you know - I don't like - what I see
All those cobwebs
That you're hiding
You can't hide them for long from me
Cause I'll clean up your act
And there'll be nothing left
None of your so called friends
Will want to speak to you again
You lie and cheat your way to the top
But the truth comes out in the end ...
In case you forgot
Your hypocrisy's annoying
Your friends don't know what you share about them
They don't see you
The way I do
It's getting old
The way you lie, but then again
I can see straight,
Straight through you
And you know I don't like what I see
All those cobwebs
That you're hiding
You can't hide them much longer from me
Cause I'll clean up your act
And you'll have nothing left
None of your so called friends
Will want to see you again
You lie and cheat your way to the top
But the truth comes out in the end ...
In case you forgot
You can do the worst to them/
When they think that you will still be friends
But they don’t know
How you treat them when they’re not there
And Now I say I have had enough
Don’t like your games
Or the pain you’re causing us
You don’t look so tough to me anymore
Cause I'll clean up your act
And there'll be nothing left
None of your so called friends
Will want to see you again
You lie and cheat your way to the top
But the truth comes out in the end
You know you
Should've known
That I'd clean up your act
And you'd have nothing left
None of your so called friends
Would want to see you again
You lie and cheat your way to the top
But the truth comes out in the end
In case you forgot.

I made myself an institution
From all the books I read
How to start a revolution
From the bottom of a garden shed
See I've been thinking I could play your game
I'll maybe colour my hair
I've been thinking I should change my name
I'll be your puppet, I sing because I love it
Before we propel toward this rush
For me to seal and sign
I think I should tell you
I reserve the right to change my mind
See I've been thinking about the rules again
And I do not think it's fair
So tie me down and take my name
I'll rise above it, I sing because I love it
If I could be Fidel Castro
I would thank my lucky star
I'd have a mojito and light my Cohiba cigar.
I'd be thinking 'bout the USA
Maybe Guantanamo Bay
Hey now FBI and CIA
Get the president on speed dial
Here's my Cuban missile.
Tie me down but I won't give in
Tie me down but I won't give in

Why you feel the need to be so strong
Why you afraid of something going wrong
It’s okay, there’s still tomorrow
It’s okay, we’ll beg, steal or borrow
Why you need to do it all by yourself
When right beside you there’s a hand that could help
It’s okay to lean upon me
It’s okay, we’re dreaming the same dream
Ooh, nothing’s gonna separate us
Ooh, woah
Ooh, there’s nothing I could say that you don’t already know
It’s all behind you let go
Everybody’s had a broken heart
It’s just nature’s way of saying who your friends are
Its okay, we see with the same eyes
It’s okay to say that we’re now allies
Ooh, nothing’s gonna separate us
Ooh, woah
Ooh, there’s nothing I could say that you don’t already know
It’s all behind you let go
Everybody’s had a broken heart
Everybody’s had a broken heart
We fall, we rise, we try a thousand times
What else can we do
We’ll fall, we’ll rise, we’ll be preoccupied
We’ll reset, we’ll forget, we’ll find there’s something new
Ooh, nothing’s gonna separate us
Ooh, woah
Ooh, there’s nothing I could say that you don’t already know
It’s all behind you let go

In the middle of something
A million miles from the ground
Funny how a picture changes
When you see it from the other way around
You lock yourself away
To keep control
There an opportunity to be free
So are you gonna let go?
Are you ready to fly like a satellite
Are you ready to fall in love again
Light up the sky like a starry night
Are you ready to be more than a friend
Are you ready to fall in love again
No one can tell you
What's right or wrong
If there's a rhythm that gets you moving
Get up cos that's now your song
Life, oh life made of memories
So take my hand and we can tear this to pieces
Are you ready to fly like a satellite
Are you ready to fall in love again
Light up the sky like a starry night
Are you ready to be more than a friend
Are you ready to fall in love again
Life, oh life made of memories
Take my hand and sail the seas
Life, oh life with no guarantees
Yes it's whatever you choose to make it
Now when I look at us
There's something building up
And I don't wanna stop
We should be taking off
Are you ready to fly like a satellite
Are you ready to fall in love again
Light up the sky like a starry night
Are you ready to be more than a friend
Are you ready to fall in love again
