The Lyrics:
(1) About You
I always knew the way about you
I always knew the way about you
Always on my mind, always take my time
Take my time and I can find my way
I never took the time to see through
I always knew the way about you
Always on my mind, always take my time
Take my time and I can find my way
Always on my mind, always take my time
Take my time and I can find my way
Always on my mind, always take my time
Take my time and I can find my way
Always on my mind, always take my time
Take my time and I can find my way
Take my time and I can find my way
Take my time and I can find my way
(2) Sparky's Dream
If she lived in space, man, I'd build a plane
Out of luck so beam me up to hear her talking again
She painted pictures that never dried
Always tried to keep the feeling alive
Need a crystal ball to see her in the morning
And magic eyes to read between the lines
I take a wrong direction from a shooting star
In the wrong dimension fading fast from taking this too far
That summer feeling is gonna fly
Always try and keep the feeling inside
Got a crystal ball to see her in the morning
And magic eyes to read between the lines
I took a wrong direction from a shooting star
In the wrong dimension fading fast from taking this too far
Got a magic ball to see her in the morning
And crystal eyes to read between the lines
Got a magic ball to see her in the morning
And crystal eyes to read between the lines
(3) Mellow Doubt
It gives me pain, when I think of you
The things together that we'll never do
At first it's cold and then it's hot
Trying to be someone that I know I'm not
In trouble, I know it
I'm feeling, I can't show it
These feelings, don't go away
I remember you, lines on your face
Sharing a moment in the perfect place
Deep in your eyes, inside your head
I try to reach you, when I'm in my bed
In trouble, I know it
I'm feeling, I can't show it
These feelings, don't go away
There is no choice, in what I must do
Nothing is greater than to be with you
In trouble, I know it
I'm feeling, I can't show it
These feelings, don't go away
(4) Don't Look Back
If I could find the words to say
The sun shines in your eyes
So brighten up my city sky
Break out the news, it's back again
The voice that tried to sing
She don't hang on
And hope's never going teach me
Wake up the story's over
Climb aboard I'm going nowhere
And understand if I must say
I'd give both these wings away
I'd steal a car to drive you home
I don't look back on an empty feeling
Repaint the blues, my saving grace
Is lost without a trace
The morning sun's a fire in space
She lives in your life everyday
Stretching time to stay
Got my mind set up on something else so it's hard to see
I don't need a guiding light to lead me in the dark
And understand if I must say
I'd give both these wings away
I'd steal a car to drive you home
I don't look back on an empty feeling
Don't look back on an empty feeling
Don't look back on an empty feeling
Don't look back on an empty feeling
Don't look back on an empty feeling
(5) Verisimilitude
I've got a pocketful of words in my brain
I pull something out when I think I should
I feel like I'm going insane
I'm not, I just said it cos I thought I would
I always feel the need to profane
I've always said fuck when I thought I could
To me this seems so inane
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
I've got a reason to think of your name
I always feel good when I look at you
I never feel the need to defame
Irony is something I mistook in you
I know our needs are the same
I'm thankful for not overlooking you
Still I need to declaim
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
I've got a pocketful of words in my brain
I'll try to find something I can give to you
I feel like I'm going insane
I know I'll calm down when I live with you
You always feel the need to profane
I guess that's something I'll forgive of you
Still I need to explain
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
(6) Neil Jung
You had a girlfriend that wasn't good enough for you
She was younger but that was old enough you knew
To get undressed for you, stressed for you
Distorting everything
Became depressed for you
You were changing
Didn't want to stay the same
Re-arranging
Dropped a letter from your name
She'd get uptight with you, fight with you
And you would never win
It wasn't right for you
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Not understanding
Had a different point of view
Tried to reach her
When she moved away from you
She was confusing you
Using you
You couldn't understand
Began amusing you
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Was going nowhere
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
Couldn't take the pain and left it there
(7) Tears
There's no future so don't fake it
Don't know if you're going to make it
When everything becomes unclear
You're tired and you're broken
True feelings remain unspoken
You couldn't hide behind your name
You're exhausted and ecstatic
You're exit was so dramatic
When all your passion disappeared
You're no sucker so don't blow it
Succeeding but you don't know it
You've got to turn yourself around
(8) Discolite
Could you light me up on what I'm doing
And waken up the sleeping words inside my head
The morning that surrounds you
The feelings that have found you
Can grow every world you'll ever need
If you think there's a better place to see
Get your mind made up on me
Got another thing to be
Ooo oo ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
When the morning fades too soon
Is there life in this cartoon?
Woke up in a place where I belong
The endless fights, the disco lights
If you think there's a better place to see
Get your mind made up on me
Got another thing to be?
Ooo oo ahhhh ahhh ahhhh ahhhh
When the DJ plays your tune
There's a light inside your moon
If the takes don't take you
And the breaks don't brake you
Get the train on time
I've waited much too long
If you think there's a better place to see
Get your mind made up on me
Got another thing to be?
Ooo ooo
If you think ooo ooo
If you think ooo ooo
If you think ooo ooo
If you think ooo ooo
(9) Say No
Say no, I know you're gonna stay
With more than one way to say no
Don't go, I know you're here today
You never knew the way to say no
I know, I never got it wrong
With only this song to say no
You know, the way we've been taught
With only one thought to say no
I know, you never had a lot
But never had a thought to say no
Don't go, now you don't belong
With only this song to say no
I'll go, anywhere at all
And wait for you to call to say no
We'll know, the things you can't recall
And life'll seem too small to say no
I know, I knew it all along
With only one song to say no
(10) Going Places
Bound in motion, found my headwind was blowing fine
I've requested the stars to shine
For words that no longer rhyme
Drank the ocean
Moved my feet to a different sound
Tried to find what was left unfound
It's funny how it lets you down
Just kick my feet off the ground, I'll embrace the sky
I've got no beat in time, got no place in line
Got the notion that this rain's never gonna last
'Cos the scene always moves too fast
I've read all about the past
Just kick my feet off the ground, I'll embrace the sky
I've got no beat in time, got no place in line
Just kick my feet off the ground, I'll embrace the sky
I've got no beat in time, got no place in line
Just kick my feet off the ground, I'll embrace the sky
I've got no beat in time, got no place in line
(11) I'll Make It Clear
They think they know us
But they don't know us
In love there's nothing
That they can show us anymore
It's never been like this before
I'll make it clear
I love you dear, dear, dear
Just something simple and unaffected
We're getting closer than we expected to be
It's me for you and you for me
I'll make it clear
I love you dear, dear, dear
Your life was darker and I think you lost your way
Stumbled into your life to brush the past away
Brush the past away
I'll make it clear
I love you dear, dear, dear, dear, dear
(12) I Gotta Know
I got a feeling I know what I mean
Feel like deceiving is almost obscene
Always believing I'll always believe
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I got a feeling I know what I need
Always believing I gotta succeed
Always believing I'll always believe
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I got a feeling I know it's naive
Feel like I'm stealing from what I perceive
Always believing I'll always believe
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
(13) Hardcore/ballad
You're my friend but that's not all
We're above them all
Staying here, staying dear
And love is easy to define
Mines is yours as yours is mine
Through the pain through the pain
