And when you slam Down the hammer Can you see it in your heart?

And when you try To break my spirit It won't work Because there's nothing left to break Anymore All of the rumours Keeping me grounded I never said, I never said that they were Completely unfounded You won't sleep Until the earth that wants me Finally has me Oh you've done it now You won't rest Until the hearse that becomes me Finally takes me Oh you've done it now And you won't smile Until my loving mouth Is shut good and proper FOREVER All of the rumours Keeping me grounded I never said, I never said that they were Completely unfounded And all those lies Written lies, twisted lies Well, they weren't lies They weren't lies They weren't lies I never said I never said I could have mentioned your name I could have dragged you in Guilt by implication By association I've always been true to you In my own strange way I've always been true to you In my own sick way

She's the kind of girl you want so much It makes you sorry Still, you don't regret a single day Ah girl Girl When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry And she promises the earth to me And I believe her After all this times I don't know why Ah, girl Girl She's the kind of girl who puts you down When friends are there, you feel a fool When you say she's looking good She acts as if it's understood She's cool, cool, cool, cool Girl Girl Was she told when she was young that pain Would lead to pleasure? Did she understand it when they said That a man must break his back to earn His day of leisure? Will she still believe it when he's dead? Ah girl Girl Girl Ah girl Girl Girl

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain. The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here, My sunny one shines so sincere. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet. Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way. You gave to me your all and all. Now I feel ten feet tall. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here, My sunny one shines so sincere. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face. Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows it's grace. You're my spark of natures fire, You're my sweet complete desire. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see. Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to c. My life was torn like a windblown sand, And the rock was formed when you held my hand. Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning A cloudburst doesn't last all day Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning It's not always gonna be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away Sunset doesn't last all evening A mind can blow those clouds away After all this, my love is up and must be leaving It's not always gonna be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass None of life's strings can last So, I must be on my way And face another day Now the darkness only stays the night time In the morning it will fade away Daylight is good at arriving at the right time It's not always gonna be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass All things must pass away

Hey! When love is blind There ain't a thing you can do Cold taste, no doubt in your mind Every word she says was true Well, you can search the whole world over She ain't ever coming back to you When love is blind It's so easy to believe Every embrace that you share Is in vain upon your memory Well, you can search the whole world over A troubled mind will never set you free When love is blind It's touch and go How it all works out, you'll never know You took a chance, made your bed Now it seems there's a whole lot of trouble ahead Love is blind Love is blind When love is blind You're feeling good and walking tall Whoa, if your head in the clouds You'll never stop to think at all It's just a shame that nobody told you Pride always comes before the fall When love is blind You just won't see It feels so good And it feels so free We're flying high Then it crash and burn Whoa, it's rule number one And the lesson you've learned When love is blind It there ain't a thing you can't control You've got it all figured out One day, it's gonna take its toll It's gonna take sometimes to get over You even make it back at all When love is blind Love is blind When love is blind Love is blind Love is blind
