She's gone
out of my life
I was wrong
I'm to blame
I was so untrue
I can't live
without her love
in my life
there's just
an empty space
All my dreams are lost
I'm wasting away
Oh forgive me girl
Lady won't you
save me my heart
belongs to you
Lady can you forgive me
for all I've done
to you Lady Oh Lady
She's gone
out of my life
oh she's gone
I find it
so hard to go on
I really miss
that girl my love
come back into my arms
I'm so alone
I'm begging you
I'm down on my knees
forgive me girl
Lady won't you
save me my heart
belongs to you
Lady can you forgive me
for all I've done
to you Lady
Oh Lady Oh Lady-

Lady won't you save me
my heart belongs to you
Lady can you
forgive me for all
I've done to you
Lady oh Lady my heart
belongs to you Lady
can you forgive me
for all
I've done to you-

Every night
in my dreams
I see you
I feel you
That is how
I know you go on
Far across
the distance
And spaces
between us
You have come to
show you go on
Near far wherever
you are
I believe that
the heart does go on
Once more you
open the door
And you're here
in my heart
And my heart will
go on and on-
Love can touch us
one time
And last for
a lifetime
And never let go till
we're gone
Love was
when I loved you
One true time
I hold to
In my life
we'll always go on
Near far wherever
you are
I believe that
the heart does go on
Once more you
open the door
And you're here
in my heart
And my heart will
go on and on-

You're here there's
nothing I fear
And I know that
my heart will go on
We'll stay forever
this way you are safe
In my heart
and my heart
Will go on
and on-

And now
the end is near
and so I face
the final curtain
My friend
I'll say it clear
I'll state my case
of which I'm certain
I've lived
a life that's full
I traveled each
and every highway
And more
much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets
I've had a few
but then again
too few to mention
I did
what I had to do
and saw it thru
without exemption
I planned
each chartered course
each careful step
along the by way
And more
much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times
I'm sure you knew
when I bit off
more than I could chew
But thru it all
when there was doubt
I ate it up
and spit it out
I faced it all
and I stood tall
and did it my way
I've loved
I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill
my share of losing
And now
as tears subside
I find it all
so amusing
To think
I did all that
and may I say
"Not in a shy way"
Oh no
oh no not me
I did it my way
For What is a man
what has he got
if not himself
then he has not
to say the things
he truly feels
And not the words
of one who kneels
the record shows
I took the blows
and did it
my way
Yes it was
my way-

When you were here
before
Couldn't look you
in the eye
You're just
like an angel
Your skin
makes me cry
You float
like a feather
In a
beautiful world
And I wish
I was special
You're so
xucking special
But I'm
a creep
I'm
a wierdo
What the hell
am I doing here
I don't
belong here
I don't care
if it hurts
I want to
have control
I want a
perfect body
I want a
perfect soul
I want you
to notice
When I'm
not around
You're so
xucking special
I wish I
was special
But I'm
a creep
I'm
a wierdo
What the hell
am I doing here
I don't
belong here oh oh
She's running out
again
She's run
she's run run
Run run
run
Whatever makes you
happy
Whatever
you want
You're so
xucking special
I wish
I was special
But I'm
a creep
I'm
a wierdo
What the hell
am I doing here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

There's a fire
starting in my heart
Reaching a fever
pitch and
It's bring me
out the dark
Finally I can see you
crystal clear
Go ahead and
sell me out
And I'll lay your
sheet bare
See how
I'll leave
With every
piece of you
Don't underestimate
the things
That I
will do
There's a fire
starting in my heart
Reaching a fever
pitch and
It's bring me
out the dark
The scars of your love
remind me of us
They keep me
thinking that
We almost
had it all
The scars
of your love
They leave me
breathless
I can't
help feeling
We could have
had it all
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
Rolling
in the deep
Tears are gonna fall
rolling in the deep
You had
my heart inside
You're gonna wish
(of your hands)
You never
had met me
And you
played it
Tears are gonna fall
(to the beat)
Rolling
in the deep
Baby I have no
story to be told
But I've heard
one on you
And I'm gonna make
your head burn
Think of me
in the depths
Of your
despair
Make a home down
there as mine
Sure won't
be shared
The scars of your love
remind me of us
They keep me
thinking
That we almost
had it all
The scars of
your love
They leave me
breathless
I can't help
feeling
We could have
had it all
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
Rolling
in the deep
Tears are gonna fall
rolling in the deep
You had
my heart inside
You're gonna wish
(of your hands)
You never
had met me
And you
played it
Tears are gonna fall
(to the beat)
Rolling
in the deep
Could have
had it all
Rolling
in the deep
You had my heart
inside of your hands
But you played it
with a beating
Throw your soul
through
Every
open door
Count your blessings
to find
What you
look for
Turn my sorrow into
treasured gold
You'll pay me back
in kind and
Reap just
what you've sown
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
We could have
had it all
Tears are gonna fall
rolling in the deep
We could have
had it all
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
It all
it all it all
We could have
had it all
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
Rolling
in the deep
Tears are gonna fall
rolling in the deep
You had
my heart inside
You're gonna wish
(of your hands)
You never
had met me
And you
played it
Tears are gonna fall
(to the beat)
Rolling
in the deep
Could have
had it all
You're gonna wish
you never had met me
Rolling
in the deep
Tears are gonna fall
rolling in the deep
You had
my heart inside
You're gonna wish
(of your hands)
You never
had met me
But you played it
you played it
You played it
you played it
To
the beat

I heard that you're
settled down
That you found a girl
and you're married now
I heard that your
dreams came true
Guess she
gave you things
I didn't
give to you
Old friend
why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to
hold back
Or hide
from the light
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
You know how the
time flies only
Yesterday was the
time of our lives
We were born
and raised
In a summer haze
bound by the surprise
Of our
glory days
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nothing compares
no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
Who would have known
how bittersweet
This would
taste
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead

Slip inside
the eye of your mind
Don't you know
you might find
A better place
to play
You said that you'd
never been
But all the things
that you've seen
Will slowly
fade away
So I start
the revolution
From
my bed
Cause you said
the brains
I have went
to my head
Step outside the
summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside
the fireplace
Take that look from
off your face
You ain't ever gonna
burn my heart out
And so Sally
can wait
She knows
it's too late
As we're
walking on by
Her soul
slides away
But don't look back
in anger
I heard
you say

Take me to the place
where you go
Where
nobody knows
If it's
night or day
Please don't put your
life in the hands
Of a
Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it
all away
I'm gonna start
the revolution
From
my bed
Cause you said
the brains
I have went
to my head
Step outside the
summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside
the fireplace
Take that look from
off your face
Cause you
ain't ever
Gonna burn
my heart out
And so Sally
can wait
She knows
it's too late
As she's
walking on by
My soul
slides away
But don't look back
in anger
I heard
you say

So Sally
can wait
She knows
it's too late
As we're
walking on by
Her soul
slides away
But don't look back
in anger
I heard
you say
So Sally
can wait
She knows
it's too late
As she's
walking on by
My soul
slides away
But don't look back
in anger
Don't look back
in anger
I heard
you say
At least
not today

That Arizona sky
burning in your eyes
You
look at me
And babe
I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul
like California gold
You found
the light in me
That
I couldn't find
So when I'm all
choked up
And I can't find
the words
Every time
we say goodbye
Baby
it hurts
When the sun
goes down
And the band
won't play
I'll always remember
us this way
Lovers in the night
poets trying to write
We don't know
how to rhyme
But xamn we try
but all I really know
You're
where I wanna go
The part of me that's
you will never die
So when I'm all
choked up
But I can't find
the words
Every time
we say goodbye
Baby
it hurts
When the sun
goes down
And the band
won't play
I'll always remember
us this way
Oh yeah
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
baby yeah
Woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo
When I'm all
choked up
But I can't find
the words
Every time
we say goodbye
Baby
it hurts
When the sun
goes down
And the band
won't play
I'll always remember
us this way oh yeah
When
you look at me
And the whole world
fades
I'll always remember
us this way

Is this the real life
is this just fantasy
Caugh in a landslide
no escape from reality
Open your eyes
look up to this skies
And see
I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
because
I'm easy come easy go
little high
little low
anyway the wind blows
Doesn't really matter
to me to- me
Mama
just killed a man
Put a gun
against his head
Pulled my trigger
now he's dead
Mama
Life had just begun
But now I've gone and
thrown it all away
Mama woo---
didn't mean
To make you cry
If I'm not back again
This time tomorrow
carry on carry on
As if nothing
really matters
Too late
my time has come
Send shivers down
my spine
Body's aching
all the time--
Goodbye everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you
all behind
And face the truth
mama woo---
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish
I'd never been
born at all-

I see a little
silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch scaramouch
will you do
The fandango
thunderbolt and
Lightning very very
frightening me
Gallileo Gallileo
Gallileo Gallileo
Gallileo Figro
Magnifico
I'm just a poor boy
and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy
from a poor family
Spare him his life
from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go
will you let me go
Bismillah no we will
not let you go
Let him go bismillah
we will not let you go
Let him go bismillah
we will not let you go
Let me go
will not let you go
Let me go
will not let you go
Let me go no no no no
no no no no mama mia
Mama mia mama mia
let me go
Beelzebub has
a devil put aside
For me-- for me--
for me-

So you think
you can stone me-
Spit in my eyes--
so you think
You can love me-
leave me to die--
Oh baby-
can't do this
To me baby-
just gotta get out
Just gotta get right
outta here--

Woo woo yes woo yes
nothing really matters
Anyone can see
nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
to me

Anyway
the wind blows-

Woo you can dance
you can jive
Having the time
of your life woo
See that girl
watch that scene
Digging
the dancing queen
Friday night and
the lights are low
Looking out for
a place to go
Umm where they play
the right music
Getting
in the swing
You come to
look for a king
Anybody could be
that guy
Night is young and
the music's high
With a bit of
rock music
Everything
is fine
You're in the mood
for a dance
And when you get
the chance
You are
the dancing queen
Young and sweet
only seventeen
Dancing queen
feel the beat from
The tambourine
oh yeah
You can dance
you can jive
Having the time of
your life woo
See that girl
watch that scene
Digging
the dancing queen

You're a teaser

Leave them burning
and then you're gone
Looking out for
another anyone will do
You're in the mood
for a dance
And when you get
the chance
You are
the dancing queen
Young and sweet
only seventeen
Dancing queen
feel the beat from
The tambourine
oh yeah
You can dance
you can jive
Having the time of
your life woo
See that girl
watch that scene
Digging
the dancing queen
Digging

I will
always remember
The day
you kissed my lips
Light
as a feather
And it went
just like this
No it's never been
better than the summer
Of two thousand
and two
We were
only eleven
But acting
like grown-ups
Like we are
in the present
Drinking
from plastic cups
Singing love is
forever and ever
Well I guess
that was true
Dancing
on the hood
In the middle
of the woods
On an old Mustang
where we sang
Songs
with all
Our childhood
friends
And it went like this
say
Oops I got 99 problems
singing bye bye bye
Hold up
if you wanna go
And take a ride
with me
Better hit me
baby one more time
Paint a picture
for you and me
Of the days
when we were young
Singing at the top
of both our lungs
Now we're
under the covers
Fast forward
to eighteen
We are more
than lovers
Yeah
we are all we need
When we're holding
each other
I'm taken
back
To two thousand
and two
Dancing
on the hood
In the middle
of the woods
On an old Mustang
where we sang
Songs
with all
Our childhood
friends
And it went like this
say
Oops I got 99 problems
singing bye bye bye
Hold up
if you wanna go
And take a ride
with me
Better hit me
baby one more time
Paint a picture
for you and me
Of the days
when we were young
Singing at the top
Of both our lungs
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
Dancing
on the hood
In the middle
of the woods
On an old Mustang
where we sang
Songs
with all
Our childhood friends
oh now
Oops I got 99 problems
singing bye bye bye
Hold up
if you wanna go
And take a ride
with me
Better hit me
baby one more time
Paint a picture
for you and me
Of the days
when we were young
Singing at the top
of both our lungs
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
On the day
we fell in love
(Oh oh
oh oh)
On the day we fell
in love love love

Same bed
but it feels
Just a little bit
bigger now
Our song
on the radio
But it don't
sound the same
When our friends
talk about you
All it does is
just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks
a little
When I hear
your name
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
My pride
my ego
My needs
and my selfish ways
Caused a good
strong woman like
You to walk
out my life
Now I never
never get to
Clean up the mess
I made oh
And it haunts me
every time
I close
my eyes
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first
To say that
I was wrong
Oh I know I'm probably
much too late
To try and apologize
for my mistakes
But I just want you
to know
I hope
he buys you flowers
I hope
he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
when he has the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause I remember
how much
You loved
to dance
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

Oh woo wo oh woo wo
oh woo wo~
You know you love me
I know you care
Just shout whenever
and I'll be there
You want my love
you want my heart
And we will never ever
ever be apart
Are we an item
girl quit playing
We're just friends
what are you saying
Said there's another
look right in my eyes
My first love
broke my heart
For the first time
and I was like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Oh oh for you I would
have done whatever
And I just can't
believe
We ain't
together
And I wanna
play it cool
But I'm
losin' you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces
baby fix me
And just shake me
til' you
Wake me
from this bad dream
I'm going down down
down down
And I just can't
believe my first love
Would be around
and I'm like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
When I was 13
I had my first love
There was nobody that
compared to my baby
And nobody came
between us
Or could ever
come above
She had me goin' crazy
oh I was star-struck
She woke me up
daily
Don't need no
Starbucks
She made
my heart pound
And skip
a beat
When I see her
in the street
And at school
on the playground
But I really wanna
see her on the weekend
She know
she got me gazin'
Cuz she was
so amazin'
And now my heart is
breakin'
But I just
keep on sayin'
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
I'm gone
now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
now I'm all gone
I'm
gone

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

Sitting here
wasted and wounded
At this old piano
trying hard
To capture the moment
this morning
I don't know 'cause
a bottle of vodka is
Still lodged
in my head and
Some blond gave me
nightmares
I think
she's still in my bed
As I dream
about movies
They won't make of me
when I'm dead
With an ironclad
first I wake up
And french kiss
the morning
While
some marching band
Keeps its own beat
in my head
While we're talking
About all of the think
That I long to believe
about love and
The truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is
baby you're all
That I need
I want to lay you
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails
Ooh I want to be
just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
and lay you down
On a bed of roses
well I'm so far away
That each step
that I take is
On my way home
King's ransom in dimes
I'd given each night
just to see
Through this payphone
still I run out
Of time or it's hard
to get through
Till the bird
on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll just close
My eyes and whisper
baby
Blind love is true
I want to lay you down
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails
Ooh I want to be
just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
and lay you down
On a bed of roses
well this hotel bar
Hangover whiskey's
gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's
crooked
And she's giving me
the eye
I might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard
I think I died
ooh yeah-

When you close
your eyes
Know I'll be thinking
about you
While my mistress
she calls me to stand
In her spotlight again
tonight
I won't be alone
but you know
That don't mean
I'm not lonely
I've got nothing
to prove
For it's you that
I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down
on a bed of roses
For tonight
I sleep on a bed
On nails
ooh I want to be
Just as close as
the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down
On a bed of roses
for tonight
I sleep on a bed
on nails I want to be
Just as close as
the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
on a bed of roses-

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world
