Some dance with each other as they walk Others storm past without looking, but she always smiles Sarah, you're a liberator I am glad I met You are a liberator Sarah No shame on the shaman but shame on you if you don't do what you want to, what is true. The world is yours Sarah, you're a liberator I am glad I met you You are a liberator Sarah You're a liberator I am glad I met You are a liberator OK Sarah Que Sera Sera

Do you know who sets the criteria for your life and who's really in control of your mind? If it's all relative it's worse to take, it's better to give But what she leaves with me is more than memories Is that all we can aspire to be? She remains underneath the sun But he refrains from a revolution Why start another war What's civilisation made of us From an atom to the universe we grow monoculars for eyes to see beyond the lies we're fed They lie and we lie down There's another way to see that side of town Untie me right now Untie me right now Unite me right now They Stabbed Caesar In The Back For all humanity The invitation to be free The bird got shot down by man And eaten up by him We are all here I see your eyes You see my eye We are all here I'm asleep In and out of my mind all the time And so I whisper to you That we are not all the same There's nothing left to do but ignore the game I know I'm me Why can't you see the reason why you are alive? It doesn't matter who you are I don't want to meet your parents I'll give it a miss And I don't want to hang with your friends I just want a kiss Gve me more if you want to Give me your body You could give me more if you want to We could have a little partyi It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are Because we're all here And I see you all here We're all here. And you could give me more if you want to Give me your body You could give me more if you want to We could have a little party Woo!

Overcome 03:07
A taste, delight There's something in my mind Hold me, all the while I epitomise But now we're overcome You take away the sun Why are you so kind? I held you in my mind All the while It's good No sleep, agreed And I want no remise For all the old me There's comfort at your side But now we're overcome You take away the sun Why are you so kind? I held you in my mind All the while It's good It's good

Looking back Looking back on what we've done Welcome back We'll come back from where we have gone Where have we gone? Hook him in hooker man from where he fell Bring him back from the ocean where he dwells Deep down with no air Lungs charred Gasping here A melting brain Looking back Looking back on what we've done We'll come back We'll come back from where we have gone Where have we gone? We are alive Looking back Looking back on what we've done Welcome back We'll come back from where we have gone Where have we gone?

Amy, Aim Me 02:53
Waking up is not easy to do when you've been half asleep all your life. And you think you've got strife Falling asleep is so difficult when you've been half asleep all your dreams, if you know what I mean Amy, pick me from the world I'm in Hoist me out of the hurt of dreams Help me see what is real Show me how to feel Wasting time is so easy to do when you've all the world And you don't care But time moves so fast and one day you might see You're going nowhere Aim me. Pick me from the world I'm in Hoist me out of the hurt of dreams Help me see what is real Show me how to feel I don't know what we've become Some things cannot be undone If there's a light ahead then we'll get there We'll get there Or am I just dreaming? Amy, pick me from the world I'm in Hoist me out of the hurt of dreams Help me see what is real Show me how to feel Amy, Aim me Aim me Amy Amy, Aim Me.

I won't wait another day I'm not everything when they have gone astray And its suddenly on my plate I know where the candle ends And I want for you all to brighten up the darkest day This city's soul, it picked me up and I start again Through all it all you brighten up my day Though I feel old and over the hill And it's so damn hard to say I call you anything when they have gone away It's so impossible to pray I know where the candle ends And I want for you all to brighten up the darkest day This city's soul, it picked me up and I start again Through all it all you brighten up my day Though I feel old and over the hill I'm over the hill

I went into the street today and I took a look around Seeing all the faces staring at the ground Noone wants to look you in the eyes Are they afraid of what they might find? I went into a shop and bought a drink But all the people made me think What the hell is wrong with you? Are you a perfectionist with a guilty conscience and not a clue? So I turned into a lion, a mighty beast, a phoenix on fire at least And I ran and flew But I really wish that I could be more like you I really wish that I could be more like you You You are never told the truth Quit your hesitation get off the ground Love will never knock them dead Be found I really wish that I could be more like you I really wish that I could be more like you I really wish that I could be more like you I really wish that I could be more like you You You You You You You

I am here you are there We are everywhere On a boat, on the land, High up in the air Underground, Have you found the ones that you love? Or are you still searching below and above? If you ever look outside One day maybe you might find what it is you're looking for, who or what you do adore Love is all we have Love is all we have We'll make it last forever Through the weather we'll be fine We'll be fine What use is hope when you know Where you've been and where you're going to go: Through space and other realms, But we're still searching for ourselves If you ever look outside One day maybe you might find what it is you're looking for, who or what you do adore Love is all we have Love is all we have We'll make it last forever Through the weather we'll be fine We'll be fine If you ever look outside One day maybe you might find what it is you're looking for, who or what you do adore Love is all we have Love is all we have Our love is all we have We'll make it last forever Through the weather we'll be fine We'll be fine

Life Goes By 03:59
How are you feeling? I suppose it's the way I am I'm sorry I made it I suppose you could make it yourself On your own I know you can We all live and grow Like a river over the stone So how do you feel now? Does life wash over you? Or do you feel dead? If so act like the stone Free yourself, be yourself Be yourself to free yourself So how do you feel alone? I can't tell where the comfort of it all went Are you a ghost? I can't find a friend On your own I know you can We all live and grow Like a river over the stone Like the river over the stone Be like the stone in the river Like the river over the stone

You used to think it would be easier for you You wish your time could be spent on better things You never wanted it to be like this Your childhood dreams went all amiss I really do know all about you. You could return to the place you're from You're scared of nothing and everyone You hoped your life would be more fulfilled with less worry I really do know all about you. You don't even know I feel the same way You never wanted it to be like this You thought your life would be more bliss You hoped your dream would all come true I really do know all about you.

If you're wrong, don't follow me Go mad instead If your love is misery then you're already dead I'm fine Bear that in mind You're worth the air I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine If you're wrong, don't follow me Go mad instead If your love is misery then you're already dead If you're wrong, don't follow me Go mad instead If your love is misery then you're already dead You're already dead You're already dead

Are you looking for a way out? Are you dreaming of a better life? Are you thinking all the time? Do you have trouble sleeping Evelyn? Turn the lights low Soothe out your mind Breathe deep and blow Don't look behind You are what you are and you are amazing Are you looking for me now? Are you dreaming of another lie? Are you whispering all the time? Do you have trouble sleeping or being?
