Ocean Blue 04:52
Life is an Ocean Full of emotion blue Waves of devotion Carry me through to you I live on the higher ground Where the air is clear and heartless Playing with the only sound A life that is completely pointless I have to say this time That you mean nothing to me I have to sing this line That you take nothing from me And all you do is lie When all my friends desert me The ocean stands before you Why don’t you, why don’t you cry Life is an ocean blue Deep as my love for you it seems Couldn’t be the only one So lonely on the distant horizon I’m walking through the human zoo Looking out not seeing you Carry on walking, just carry on walking I have to say this time That you mean nothing to me I have to sing this line That you take nothing from me And all you do is lie When all my friends desert me The ocean stands before you Why don’t you, why don’t you cry Life is an ocean blue Life is an ocean blue Life is an ocean blue Life is an ocean blue Life is an ocean blue Living away from you Life is an ocean blue Living away from you I have to say this time That you mean nothing to me I have to sing this line That you take nothing from me And all you do is lie When all my friends desert me The ocean stands before you Why don’t you, why don’t you cry X 2

Liar 04:01
The world is very strange That we let those bastards push us down As our dreams run down the drain Well why do we sit still Stand around and looking down On a world that’s getting ill? Now wouldn’t it be great If we all rose up together And pulled the big man from the cloud? He’s a liar, He's a liar, liar liar Liar, just a great big liar He’s a liar, the man’s a great big liar I’ve seen him on TV Every night and every day I don’t really wanna hear what the Pigman has to say He’s surrounded by his nodding army He’s rotten through and through He tells you what to say and think He tells you what to do Coz he’s a liar, liar Liar, Liar, Liar Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar Do you think there’s any hope at all? Do you think we have a chance? Is anything gonna really change If we take a different stance? If we all make better choices If we make a louder noise If we shout and scream And stamp our feet And throw out all our toys Or are you gonna turn around And look the other way? As the liar and his cronies Make things worser by the day Hes a liar, kliar liar lar Hes a liar, kliar liar lar Liar, real big liar He’s a liar, yeah, he’s a he’s a liar Liar

She carried off my broken bones I didn’t know what I was going through I couldn’t help myself I didn’t want those eyes to see me cry Well I was tired and I was torn I was turning in my grave Like an ocean of despair Didn’t know if I’d be saved Time, time will tell Time, time will tell Time will tell She put her hands around my neck She squeezed and pulled me tight I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t see Didn’t have the strength to fight I gave it up, I gave it all Showed the workings of my soul Wrapped her arms around my heart And went into the night Time, time will tell Time, time will tell Time will tell Time after time The story told, the blood run cold out from my heart Time after time I fell again into the flames of hate and fear Time after time I knew you would, I hate to say I told you so Time after time You never learn you fool you have to let it go Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time

Nowhere else to fall except into an empty grave The greed of a King took a nation as his slave Couldn’t get enough to satisfy his inner rage Women of the slaves, he had to keep them in a cage Children had to suffer when the house began to fall The king he was impatient and he had to have it all Time was running out and if you tried to run away The rich men had an army to bring you back again Put your hands in the basket Put your hands in the basket Put your hands in the basket Put your hands in the basket Nowhere else to fall except into an empty grave The greed of a King took a nation as his slave Nowhere else to fall except into an empty grave The greed of a King took a nation as his slave Nowhere else to fall except into an empty grave The greed of a King took a nation as his slave Nowhere else to fall except into an empty grave The greed of a King took a nation as his slave

Spanish Snow 04:11
La nieve Española cae sobre mi corazón (The Spanish snow falls in my heart) Your heart is cold Your pictures move in a strange way I fall apart at night when its dark I’m afraid its true New golden fortunes Play a tune I can’t hear Love fills the ocean On a bright snowy day Lies stay untold Truth will unfold Till the end Your voice deceives me every day You’re not alone I can see, that there’s fight in your eyes You leave me behind I despise you For the things you cut and tore from my life New golden fortunes Play a tune I cant hear Love fills the ocean On a bright snowy day Lies stay untold Truth will unfold Till the end Love fills the ocean On a bright snowy day Love fills the ocean On a bright snowy day Lies stay untold Truth will unfold Till the end

I see the failure in the fortunes of the brave I fail to understand the reasons that you gave The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know What makes you cry? Living in a world that doesn’t care about a soul We have children that are starving for another persons goal The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know Why don’t we try? I can see the world burn behind me I’d love to see a world more sublime I can see the world turn beside me I’d love to see a world less divine Take and take and take and take until it is all gone Till the human race is finished everything that don’t belong to them The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reason why? Corporations suck your blood, because the oil is not enough Evolution can’t come quick enough to save the rest of us The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reason why? I can see the world burn behind me I’d love to see a world more sublime I can see the world turn beside me I’d love to see a world less divine I see the failure in the fortunes of the brave I fail to understand the reasons that you gave The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reasons why? I see the failure in the fortunes of the brave Fail to understand the reasons that you gave The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reason why? The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reason why? The anger doesn’t show, does anybody know The reason why?

I never found out what was turning me blind Could never feel just what was hurting my mind I just don’t care what the big man says I couldn’t hear what the music plays oo oo oh I said oo oo oh I got a drill it’s killing me I got a drill it’s drilling inside of my head I got a drill it’s killing me I gotta psycho drill psycho drill Drilling in me oo oo ooh oo oo ooh woo ohh ohh hoo oo oo ooh oo oo ooh woo ohh ohh hoo Now I just don’t know if I’m happy or sad I just can’t hide if these things are so bad You got me singing like a fool on the hill You got me swimming, you got me hanging on say it oo oo ooh oo oo ooh I got a drill it’s killing me I got a psycho drill, psycho drill Inside my head I like it there Ah na na na na na na na oo oo ooh oo oo ooh woo ohh ohh hoo oo oo ooh oo oo ooh woo ohh ohh hoo oo oo ooh oo oo ooh woo ohh ohh hoo The psycho drill pounding inside my head The psycho drill’s making me feel like uh uh uh uh The psycho drill pounding inside my head The psycho drill, just take me just take me oo oo ooh I got a drill it’s killing me I got a psycho drill, psycho drill Inside my head

Staring at the dark Colours falling from the sky Sending rivers in reverse Never asking why The soul is in disguise Calling futures that you never saw I see it in your eyes See it in your smile Taking all the time Taking orders Learning all the crimes You committed Fighting in the mind Finding fortunes Leaving things aside You have forgiven Looking for the time Looking for the time Looking for the time Looking for the time To understand the reason Making pictures of the sounds As certain as the seasons
