Time Flies

She's got a watch
And it can speak the time
In a New York accent
It says 8:45
And when she's late for work
It's up to you to get her up
It's so cold outside
She'd never leave you
For kissing you goodbye

No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know she's mine
No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know she's mine

He's got a smile
That makes you feel you've won the first prize
His long eyelashes blink so fast before he cries
You trust him when he says 
He won't tell you any lies
How times flies
He wouldn't leave you for kissing you goodbye

No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know he's mine
No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know he's mine

Time flies, time flies, how time flies, with you
How time flies, time flies, time flies, with you..

Mono Prix

Hey when we first met
I thought that time had come for me to die
But now I see that you had come to bring in here new life
To think that I hear music that I never could be
To think that I can see new things I never would have seen

I will wish for you the best
I can see in you
While I watch you sleeping

We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got life to live

And life is full of complicated situations, hush
I'll bring you tea in mornings when you feel you have to rush
Affection is not real although I felt it with you near
So stay with me while we grow old and live life with no fear

I will wish for you the best
I can see in you
While I watch you dreaming

We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got life to live
To live, to live, to live
We've got so much, so much time
We've got so much time
We've got so much, so much time
We've got so much life
I will wish for you the best

(thanks Chulia)

Universal  (official)

It could've been any one of us,
You and me could walk the line of fire.
Any day it all could change
Don't see it coming on, it's coming on.
It's a crazy crazy world,
A topsy turvy, upsidown, corners curving kind of world
And sometimes I don't know who I am,
Sometimes I don't know where I stand,

It's Universal,
I know, I know.
It's not less special, to know, to know
Everybody can feel it too
And what's unique is me and you

Watching the way things can turn round and round
You need the grace of a tightrope walker
Any way now that you can, just do something that's good
Something that's good.
It's a crazy, crazy world
It's a crazy, crazy world
A topsy turvy, upside down, corners curving kind of world
And sometimes, I don't know who I am,
Sometimes, I don't know where I stand

It's Universal
I know, I know.
It's not less special to know, to know,
everybody can feel it too
and what's unique is me and you.
You.

It's Universal
I know, I know.
It's not less special to know, to know,
everybody can feel it too
and what's unique is me and you.

It's a crazy world, it's a crazy world.

The Other Side Of Now

The little boy I met today with the evil eye reminded me of you
with his little catapult thing, I gave him a look as if to say "just you try" reminded me of you

All the missiles intercepting missiles meet
All the broken republics breakdown
All the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

And the shiny streets below the Rathmines clock, I was walking to the beat reminded me of you
and the siren came from the street last night, was trying to sleep, reminded me of you

All the missiles intercepting missiles meet
All the broken republics breakdown
All the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

And the sweet temptation like a corner shop everywhere i turn reminding me of you
And the coloured ____ upon my finger, finger burning, reminding me of you
And the cover on the magazine, beauty shines reminding me of you
how history repeats itself, love is blind reminding me of you

all the missiles intercepting missiles meet
all the broken republics breakdown
all the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

I want you on the other side of now

Last Song Of The 20th Century

Radios in cars, walkmans, aeroplanes
Electric fans, cyber sex, your ideal man
Helicopters, floating candles, liquidizers
TV channels, buy it now while you can
Video remote control, acid rain and sugar snow
The butter mountain, ten year climb

The world is your oyster, I've seen it on TV

And now's about the time
We look into our minds 
We look into our lives and see
Who's feeding of who
Who's giving what to 
Who is full and who is empty
Yeah, and I'll still be here
I'll be here for you
Yea, I'll still be here
I'll be here for you

Mobile phones and hairdryers
Firelighters, instant fires
Doggy? clothes and ethnic cleansing
Coca-Cola, sights on mars, plastic breasts
Rocket cars, cosmic fear, and gay priests preaching
Casanova presidents, the bombing down of monuments
The papers tell you who the stars are kissing

The world is your oyster, I've seen it on TV

And now's about the time
We look into our minds
We look into our lives and see
Who is feeding off who
Who is giving what to 
Who is full and who is empty
Yeah, and I'll still be here
I'll be here for you
Yeah, I'll still be here
I'll be here for you

The world is your oyster, I've seen it on TV

(thanks Chulia)

Tenderness

Give me some tenderness
In need of gentleness

The city's such a fast place
You are not made for the rat race
Remembering the time that you prayed in to your pillow
'Til the morning light, it's alright now

Look in to the skies
For the stars within your eyes

And feel the splendidness
Mending the brokenness
You thought it was all over
But you see it's just beginning
Remembering the time
That we stayed up all night singing
'Til the morning light
It's alright now

Look in to the skies
For the stars within your eyes
And feel the sparkle come back to life

Shine

You were the brain child of your time
You could walk on water, walk through fire
If only you knew that love was blind
You'd set up a lie detector in your mind

But see how you fall in and out of time
See how you go blind
It only takes belief to feel it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

You're married to your TV set
Your friends are in the fridge and on the shelf
If you could remember to pay the bill
You could make the telephone your new thrill

But see how you fall in and out of time
And see how you go blind
It only takes belief to feel it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

So let it shine

Swallow

Take me out for a little walk
I could be your doggie dog
Thinking of all the things that we love to do
We could make a living
Would you love me if I'm small or I'm tall
If I'm fat or thin

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Fingers wrapped around your neck
Walk the diving board off deck
Thinking of all the wonderful unbelievable things we do
I wonder if in two thousand and sixty nine, I will be with you

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

I know I hang out with strangers and freaks
But no one else ever gets close to me
Like you, like you

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Dive

Beyond the words you speak
The sacred line from you to me
In our own minds we touch the sky
Our everyday lives we're keepers of time

We can come down, I'll take you to mine
Take you in to the divine

And when I'm drowning in the sea of me
Will you dive in and save me?
Dive in and take me out of the crowd in my head
And when I'm really dead I'll be your bed
You can rest your head on me

Funny times to be
Stigmata world (wave) bleed
But with our own hands we'll touch the sky
There's every chance your dream horse will ride

We can come down, I'll take you to mine
Take you in to the divine

Dive in love, dive in with love

Zhivago Blue

Searching for the gold wrapped in silver
On the Rathmines road
Didn't mean to be bitter, didn't mean to be cold
Just missing the closeness of you
Sounds like such a cliché
But no-one can do what you do

Zhivago blue, to you I'm true
Zhivago blue, I'm coming to you
I put my foot on the accelerator
I'll see you soon and forget about later
Forget about later, forget about later

Coco without sugar, impersonal coffee
A refugee stare
Everyone's crazy, I'm going nowhere
Just missing the closeness of you
It sounds like such a cliché
But no-one can do what you do

Now

He said I only can rely myself
And he wrapped it up and put me on his shelf
It's so easy to walk away
What's a friend then if you don't stay
Around when I'm down when I'm on the ground
Where are you to be found

And I'm trying hard not to be cynical
In a world we are few seem to keep their word
But who am I to say, was I there, did I stay
Around when you were down when you were on the ground
Was I there to be found

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be hours
And I believe in now

He said "I love you forever sweetie pie"
He said "My love, you know our souls are linked for life"
It's so easy to say
What does it all mean if you don't stay
Around when I'm down when I'm on the ground
Are you there to be found

She's passing by
No more stay here
Forget me now while I disappear
Did I give, did I take
Was I there, did I stay
Around when you were down when you were on the ground
Was I there to be found

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be hours
And I believe in now

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be ours
And I believe in now

Staros

You were always on my mind
I know I said that you should leave
I didn't mean a thing
I didn't say it from my heart
I said it from my most instinctive defensive part

So kiss me like this could be the last day
This could be the last time you hold me this way
So show me if I mean the world to you
So show me if I mean the world to you

Been living like a hurricane
Into my house, into my streets
It blew my city down
I know there's nobody to blame
Just something so fast could never last

So take it like this could be last day
This could be the last time you hold me this way
So show me if I mean the world to you
So show me if I mean the world to you

You're gone as gone as you have come
I said that you could be the one
And I meant everything
You know I said it from my heart
I said it from my most instinctive courageous part

I will take you with me when I go, when I go
