1. _ Freedom
I read it in the bible
I told you not to waste my time
Why should i be liable
For every situation, and every crime?
I know it's a long way home
When you haven't got a ride
I know it's a long way home
And you know we've been fighting for the longest time
Ain't no freedom like your own
Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine
Ain't no freedom like your own
And you know we've been fighting for the longest time
I told it to some people
But they said the fault was mine
I know it's never easy
I know it's never easy when you walk in line
I know it's a long way home
When you haven't got a ride
I know it's a long way home
And you know we've been fighting for the longest time
Ain't no freedom like your own
Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine
Ain't no freedom like your own
And you know we've been fighting for the longest time
Why do we live this way
Wasting our lives?
Why are the things that we say
Seen as a crime?
I have to live my way
This is my life
I get on my knees and pray
Most of the time
Ain't no freedom like your own
Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine
Ain't no freedom like your own
And you know we've been fighting for the longest time

2. _ Where Are You Now? (when I Need You?)
I'm right where you found me
Someone left me on the street
Life moving around me
I said that i could not be beat
I said i was lonely
On my own i could not stand
You said ain't you only
Everybody's got it bad
Why talk about it
When you know you're gonna lie
Why talk about it
You can't even give me a reason why
Where are you now when i need you?
Where are you now when i need you?
Where are you now when i need you?
I said i was lonely
On my own i could not stand
You said ain't you only
Everybody's got it bad (everybody's got it bad)
Life's moving around you
Everybody's on the street
Those beggars that found you
They're the ones that say defeat, they do
Why talk about it
When you know you're gonna lie
Why talk about it
You can't even give me a reason why
Where are you now when i need you?
Where are you now when i need you?
Where are you now when i need you?
Don't talk, don't ever talk about it
Don't talk, don't ever talk about it
Don't talk, don't ever talk about it
Where are you now when i need you?

3. _ Il Adore
Mother clutches the head of her dying son
Anger and tears, so many things to feel
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
Noone mentions the unmentionable, but everybody understands
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine him as he used to be
Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do
Silence equals death, this is what they say
But the anger and the tears do not take the pain away
How far must it go, how near must it be
Before it touches you, before it touches me
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine life as it used to be
Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do
Did you ever ask those strangers what they're looking for?
Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure?
You were hurt by love but still you came right back for more
Il adore, il adore, il adore
Thanks mum

4. _ Don't Cry
You say that you're misunderstood
But you like it that way
Then you say you're lonely
Well that's the price you pay
And i don't think i love you
That's the cruellest game we play
But i love you that way
You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?
You feel a little twisted
You feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll feel that way again
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
You say that you're not beautiful
But you are in my eyes
You say my love's too heavy
Well that comes as no surprise
You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?
You feel a little twisted
And you feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
It's already over
There's nothing to say
It's already over
But you need love to show you your way
Don't cry for me
Don't you cry
Don't cry, don't cry for me
You're the perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're the perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?
You feel a little pain
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

5. _ Sold
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
But we've got all these bills to pay
And they ain't just gonna go away
Like a factory - about to be shut down
Another factory - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one
I do
See if mr. botha was a man
He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can
But he don't talk for you and me
I saw him on the bbc
His eyes looked like a factory
About to be shut down
His eyes looked like a factory
With the lights out - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
For you to be
Last night my mother said to me
When you grow up what will you be
If not the white minority
At least protect me
I'm not a factory about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold
Sold - there's got to be a better way than this

6. _ To Be Reborn
Get off your knees
Don't apologise
'cause i ain't got no time
For no more lies
You know the answer
I gave it to you
But you carry on
With the things that you do
Yes i have tried
I, i could live, i could die
I could be reborn in your arms
I, i could laugh, i could cry, i could sigh if you're there
To keep me warm
To keep me warm, warm, warm
Talk to me
Open your eyes
Talk to me
Lose the disguise
We had good love
Most of the time
Give it back
That love is mine
Give it back
Just one more time
I, i could live, i could die
I could be reborn in your arms
I, i could laugh, i could cry, i could sigh if you're there
To keep me warm
To keep me warm, warm, warm
I know the answer
What can we do
I know the answer, yeah
So do you
I gave you love
I gave it to you
I gave you love - something new
I gave you love
I, i could live, i could die
I could be reborn in your arms
I, i could laugh, i could cry, i could sigh if you're there
To keep me warm
To keep me warm, warm, warm

7. _ Keep Me In Mind
You got, you got, you got everything
You know i'm not someone
Who likes to wait around in line
You know i'm not someone
Who likes to waste a lot of time
Love will find the answer
In every little thing you do
Love will find the answer
And it's always gonna come to you
If you just keep me in mind
'cause there may not be a second time
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind
You know i'm not someone
Who likes to use words like love
You know i'm not someone
Who likes to put myself above
Love will find the answer
In every little thing you do
Love will find the answer
And it's always gonna come to you
If you just keep me in mind
'cause there may not be a second time
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind
Love will find the answer
And it's always gonna come to you
If you just keep me in mind
'cause there may not be a second time
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind
For the rest of your life
Keep me in mind

8. _ If I Could Fly
Stone by the river, got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation's just a moment away
Soon i'm gonna be old, soon you're gonna be old
Remember love is not something you can keep
It just takes the wind to blow it away
You look so ugly as you lie there asleep
Boy you're pretty today, so pretty today
When i was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but i'm not that kind
They said i was meek but i did not mind
It's a case of the weak leaving the blind
I see the stars have spelt your name in the sky
I wrote it too down here in the sand
When i first met you, you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand, see the cards in your hand
And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky
I feel so special when i'm making you cry
But i regret the things i throw in your face, i do
This drug will kill you darling this is no lie
This dragon we chase, this dragon we chase
When i was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but i'm not that kind
They said i was meek but i did not mind
It's a case of the weak fooling the blind
And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky
And oh if i could fly
I said oh if i could fly
Don't you know that if i could fly
I'd take to the sky, yes i would

9. _ Whisper
You bet that i cannot resist it
When you move inside my life
Touching souls i feel restricted
And i know that it's not wise
I can tell so much is changing
But i'm blinded by desire
Won't some god come down from heaven
And set me free, set me on fire
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight
When you say that it's forever
I believe it every time
But out of reach, that ain't together
I need someone to be mine
I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
But don't show too much affection
Cause i'm willing, yeah
I'm willing to let you bleed
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid to put up a fight
Don't believe that you're invincible
To fall in love
And you know that love won't save you
Cause those kind of feelings
You know they never do
They never do
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight
I'm just walking alone
You know i'm just walking
I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
Don't you show too much affection
Cause i'm willing, i'm willing to let you bleed
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm too afraid to put up a fight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm not lonely i'm not afraid
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone...

10. _ Everything I Own
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, you kept me warm
You gave my life to me
You set me free, set me free
Of all the years i ever knew
Those finer ones i spent with you
I would give everything i own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to cry
I don't know why, just don't know why
You told those lies to me
You set me free, set me free
Of all the years i ever knew
Those finer ones i spent with you
I would give everything i own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again
Just to hold you once again
If there's someone you know
That won't let you go
And is taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone take them away
And you don't hear a word they say
I would give everything i own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again

11. _ I Love You
Love you, blimey, some men are funny
(i love you
Do you love me?
I love you
Do you love me?)
Take a look at yourself my darling
Don't ya like what you see
Dip your foot in the pool and wonder
Is it colder than me?
Take a look at my arms oh baby
See the wounds of my youth
There were times when i could not take it
Seek the negative truth
I love you
Like the stars love the sky
And they're never lonely
I love you
'cause you're weak, incomplete and
You're never phoney
I love you
Yes i do, yes i do
But you'll never own me
I never said i'd be good in bed
Take a look at me golden hooker
Just you swallow your pride
Take a look at me my good looker
There's a devil inside
Never sleep with your windows open
Never tell them you cry
Never tell them that you feel lonely
Coz they'll spit in your eye
I love you
I used to dream of a stream
But i need an ocean
I love you
Falling head over heels
With the slightest notion
I love you
You can stay for a while
But don't pledge devotion
I never said get inside my head
I love you
I love you i hate you
Don't mean to frustrate you
I love you
I love you i hate you
Don't mean to frustrate you
(do you love me?)
See the queen
And his old reminder
That you've never been cool
Turn your back 'cause
The spite will blind you
It's incredibly cruel
Take a look at the fools around you
See the beggar inside
There were times when i got so holy
Now i wish i had lied
I love you
Like the stars love the sky
And they're never lonely
I love you
'cause you're weak, incomplete and
You're never phoney
I love you
Yes i do, yes i do
But you'll never own me
I love you
I love you
I never said i'd be good in bed
I love you
I love you
I never said get inside my head
I love you
I love you
I used to dream of a stream but i need an ocean
I love you

12. _ Something Strange Called Love
Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what i've heard
I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me
Oh you slide so good
With your bones so fair
You've got the universe
Reclining in your hair
Say my love is good
Say we're not too old
I call you jaguar
If i may be so bold
I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love i felt for you
Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me
They say that we're much too young
To fall in love
Well, what do they know?
They say that our kind of love
Just ain't enough
Well what do they know?
Something strange called love
Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what i've heard
I've felt this love i felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love i felt for you
Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me (repeat)

13. _ What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted
As i walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I know i've got to find
Some kind of piece of mind
Help me, please
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come tumblin' down
Every day hearts grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Always searching for someone to care
Always moving but going nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I know i've got to find
Some kind of piece of mind
Help me, please
Help me, please
Oh yeah baby won't you help me, please
Help me
I'm searching though i don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growing need
All is love there's no hope for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I've been searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I've been looking everywhere
I know i'm gonna find it
I know that we'll find it
'cause we're standing right behind it

14. _ Cheapness And Beauty
This is a real addiction, confusion and cheap tattoos
A princess, a car thief, and a lost shoe
Lonliness, laughter, lust, the promise of pain
Judas in blue jeans tell me your name
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes, glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh i'm so weak sometimes
Glue for the broken toy, the wings for the saint
A buddah, a false god, and some war paint
Wasting your wisdom, yes, but who can you trust
Love holds a mirror up to all of us
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes, glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh i'm weak sometimes
It's much too late to say goodbye
Despite all good advice
This pain is such a part of me
I won't apologize
For running to your rescue
Though you slap me in the face
It doesn't really matter
'cause we always fall in love again
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh i'm so weak sometimes
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness
I won't apologise
Cheapness and beauty
I see it in your eyes
Cheapness and beauty
Oh i'm so weak sometimes
