Love is the miracle that keeps me alive
Love is the miracle, side by side
Hearts open wide - powerglide
I feel unbeatable when you say I'm good
It's unbelievable, didn't know I could
Be so understood, knock on wood
I thank God for the lifetimes
I thank you for the lifelines you throw me
I thank God for the lifetimes
I thank you for the miracle of love
I remember when it used to be so dark and lonely
I can't forget, it changed, you said you loved me only
Love me only
I thank God...

Gangsterland
03:03
|

You're kind of a gangster in gangsterland
A tough little sister, you understand
Gangsterland
And you don't take it for granted
Foe or a friend, wipe out or defend
Bang, bang, bang, gangsterland
I defend you - you're innocent to me
You're living, you're breathing, you're free
That's how you are to me
But you're kind of a gangster in gangsterland

There are shields in your eyes
A forcefield around your soul
I wanna reach you inside
But you're scared of losing your control
You don't know your feelings
So you live in a fantasy
Don't be alone - open your heart
I won't harm you
Please touch me
Let me be your man, lover and friend
It's what you need
Trust me
We've all been there before
That place where pain is king
I don't say it's unreal
But when you love it loses it's sting
I will be so gentle and patient
I will cause your heart to sing
Don't be alone…
Please touch me
You can love me
You can trust me
I will love you forever
I will love you
Don't be alone…

Aldous Huxley Brave New World
I know what to do - You can do it too
Let's get our alpha brothers and our beta sisters
Go out to the feelies then on to orgie porgie
Let's take our world to go
We'll take our world to go
Aldous Huxley Brave New World
Virtual desires are virtually relieved
A test tube and a bottle, it's how were all conceived
We don't need to burn the pages or strike for higher wages
We're happy boys and girls
We're happy boys and girls
Aldous Huxley Brave New World
Everybody's happy - every boy and girl
Everybody's happy in this brave new world
We keep it safe and shallow - don't spend our time alone
Sex and shop and party, texting on the phone
Ashamed to know our mother, not savages, you know
Soma helps to calm us when emotions start to show
Everybody's happy - every boy and girl
Everybody's happy in this brave new world
Aldous Huxley Brave New World

Summer of Our Lives
03:35
|
|||
The wind blows through your hair
And the grass is soft underfoot
You walk amoung the trees
As their leaves rustle over your head
The river beside me
Has water flowing cool and clear
I kneel to take a drink
Then lean against a tree on the grass
We meet by the river
Where the grass is soft under foot
We walk, your hand in mine
Through the trees on the riverbank
This is the summer of our lives

Babylon Babies

Babylon babies
Their mama don't care and papa ain't there
It ain't fair, oh no
Babylon babies
They're in the hole, it's out of control
Selling their soul, oh no
Babylon babies
The street's the only place for the lonely
Place where all the wicked dreams are real
The street's the only place for the lonely
But it's not right to lie and beat and cheat and steal
Babylon ladies and babylon men
Make babylon babies who start again
Babylon
Mama don't care, and papa's not there
It ain't fair, oh no

Lover
03:02
|
|||
I'm a lover
Who's never been loved
I need someone, not just anyone
I need someone to love, for I'm a...
I'm a lover...
I long to take you in my arms, give way to all your charms
But can I believe in you
I want to drop my guard, it wouldn't be hard
But would you be true? Would you?
I'm a lover...
And if I never find her it will still be the same
I need someone to love me who will always, always remain
I'm a lover...

And One Day
03:43
|
|||
You don't have to say I'm right, you know I'm right
You know the score
And we don't have to keep accounts, we know what counts
We know what for
Just remember what I told you, my point of view
You know it's true
And we've started something that won't be still
Don't need overkill, just strength of will
And one day, you'll know your mind
And one day, you'll know you're mine
And one day, you will see
Your rightful place is with me
You don't have to say you're wrong, you know you're wrong
I'll bide my time
And we don't have to keep accounts, we know what counts
I'll watch the signs
And one day, you'll know your mind
And one day, you'll know you're mine
And one day, you will see
Your rightful place is with me
And one day you will see
You'll be staying here with me

I Forget
03:18
|
|||
I remember the moonlight
I forget, I can't remember how it feels
Time protects the lonely hearts it heals
And I forget
I forget about the pain when the loving starts again
I don't remember how it felt before
And yes I feel so certain, in between the hurting'
That I'll never be unhappy any more
I forget…
I remember the moonlight, full moonlight
And the daylight, broad daylight
How am I so certain it's the end of all my hurting'
I should know that I'll be crying once again
But I forget
I don't remember
I forget…

You Make Me
03:22
|
|||
I get downhearted, you make me feel better
Sorry I started, you make me glad to go on
You make me happy, you make me, baby, you make me
Moon rise to clear skies, I'm finally free
Heart pound, shake the ground, you make me see
You make me happy…
I get downhearted, you make me feel better
Sorry I started, you make me glad to go on
You make me happy, you make me, baby, you make me
Clear blue, me to you, I love to love you
Heart pound, shake the ground, baby it's true
You make me happy…
