Wicked Man's Rest
You can say I'm mad you can say I'm crazy
But I'm only as bad as the maker who made me
Sinner in the darkness, liar in the church
Deaf man's silence, sublime man's search
Tear-drop falling, memory recalling
Ghost in your dreams, and your secret recordings
Madman's match is a lump in your throat
Pea under your mattress, a hole in your coat
Singer with the sound down, winner on the comedown
Poet in an over coat looking for a suntan
On his birthday, prisoner on his first day
Tired of the new wave
I rise to meet you, as your trust dissolves to shame
All this innocence has turned and lost its way
Retrace your footprints, off the path on which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
Which way are we going
The doors close in an hour
And you can say I'm mad, you can say I'm crazy
But I'm only as bad as the maker who made me
Needle for the user, the pain in your chest
Beggar and the chooser, the wicked man's rest
Fear in the stuntman, sneer in the playground
Bottle in the hand of the dirty old drunk man
Leaf falling, Autumn calling
Dark clouds forming
I rise to meet you, as your trust dissolves to shame
All this innocence has turned and lost its way
Retrace your footprints, off the path on which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
Bite my nails, right down to the skin
Where one trust ends and another lie begins
Patch over holes in my weakened heart
Which angels hold and devils pull apart
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
The bitterness, the jealousy
The part of you that never sleeps
Are you my angel?
Will we walk all night, through solitary streets?
And you hardly can imagine, what you've never had before
And the reason that your given still leaves you wanting more
And you hardly can imagine, what you've never had before
And the reason that your given still leaves you wanting more
I rise to meet you, yeah
As your trust dissolves to shame
All this innocence has turned and lost it's way
Retrace your footprints, oh, off the path from which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
The bitterness, the jealousy
The part of you that never sleeps

Things You've Never Done
When you were younger, blue-eyed boy wonder
Never used to ponder on what life may hide
And now you're older, the nights are so much colder
Never even told her, how you feel inside
And you were so proud
With your head up in the white clouds
She'd call you so loud, but you'd never know
Now that you're wiser, you'd never compromise her
Everyday you'd realize that this bird has flown
And you blown out all your candles, one by one
And you curse yourself for things you've never done
She will wait for you, idolize, adore you
Love and reassure you
You couldn't let it be
You let it linger, slip on through your fingers
So that September, she moved across the sea
How your face dropped and how you heart stopped
Sitting at the bus-stop when they told you that she'd gone
So you, run to the harbor
Need to tell her that you love her
As the boat disappears you never felt so alone
'Cause you blown out all your candles, one by one
And you curse yourself for things you've never done
And where were you when her hour of need had come
And now you curse yourself for things you've never done
And now your grandson, blond haired blue-eyed handsome
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
So you answer, don't be scared of failure
The only failure, is never to try
Never to try, never to try, never to try
And where were you when her hour of need had come
And now you curse yourself for things you've never done

Girl I Once Knew
Sometimes, when the light catches her face
In a very particular way
It remind's me so true
Of a girl that I once knew
And there's something in her voice
That has left me with no choice
And a memory's renewed
Of a girl that I once knew
And there's something when she smiles
Drawing lines around her eyes
There's a key hole I see through
To a girl that I once knew
Sometimes, it's almost too much
When I feel her gentle touch
Running fingers down and through
Like a girl that I once knew
And to hear her sleeping breath
The rise and falling of her chest
Moonlight paints her ghostly blue
Like a girl that I once knew
And the girl that I once knew
Left me empty and confused
Yet it feels different somehow
With the girl that I know now
(Now, now, now...)

Do What You Like
It never felt like it felt
When I felt it for the first time with you
And you know I wouldn't lie
Now I'm standing by the fountain
And I'm counting all these sunken coins
Maybe they know what it's like
To be the stain on your shirt
And the hole in your jeans
To be the speckle of dirt
On your dress, so clean
Because I give you my all
But you'll give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
You never meant what you said,
But you said it, 'cause you've had one or two
And I know that's what you're like
Now I'm standing by the wall
Feeling small, as you're working the room
And I know that he's your type
With his tight fitted shirt
And his designer jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
I treat you like a queen
You've all the time in the world
But not a second for me
So go on, do what
You took me to this party
And I don't know anybody
But I'll wait for you
Yeah, you left me here alone
But you're not answering your phone
And still I wait for you
'Cause a taxi's just as fine
But I'm your designated driver
And I'll wait for you
'Cause tonight could be the night
When you realize this is right
And so I'll wait for you
Oh!
So no smoking, no drinking, straight thinking
'Cause I'm driving you home
And I think your coat's upstairs
Now I'm standing on the landing
And I'm staring through an open door
I can't believe it's you in there
With an unbuttoned shirt
And your hands down his jeans
Well you treat me like dirt
But your hands stay clean
Because I give you my all
But you'll give nothing to me
So go on, do what you like
Do what you like to me
Yeah, you do what you like
Do what you like to me
Said you can do what you like
Do what you like to me
Oh!
大爱
