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

You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
I know
you want me
So don't keep saying
our hands are tied
You claim
it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling
you miles away
And out of reach
from me
But you're here
in my heart
So who can stop me
if I decide
That you're
my destiny
What if we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing could
keep us apart
You'd be the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
So why don't we
rewrite the stars
Maybe the world
could be ours tonight
You think
it's easy
You think I don't want
to run to you
But there are
mountains
And there are
doors
That we can't
walk through
I know
you're wondering why
Because
we're able to be
Just you and me
within these walls
But when we go
outside
You're gonna wake up
and see that
It was hopeless
after all
No one can
rewrite the stars
How can you say
you'll be mine
Everything
keeps us apart
And I'm not the one
you were meant to find
It's not up to you
it's not up to me
When everyone tells us
what we can be
How can we
rewrite the stars
Say that the world
can be ours tonight
All I want is to fly
with you
All I want is to fall
with you
So just give me
all of you
It feels impossible
it's not impossible
Is it impossible
say that it's possible
How do we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing can
keep us apart
'Cause you are the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
Why don't we
rewrite the stars
Changing the world
to be ours
You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
But I can't
have you
We're bound to break
and my hands are tied

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

Edelweiss
Edelweiss
Every morning you
greet me
Small and white
clean and bright
You look happy
to meet me
Blossom of
snow may you
Bloom and grow
bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss
Edelweiss
Bless my homeland
forever
Small and white
clean and bright
You look happy
to meet me
Blossom of
snow may you
Bloom and grow
bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss
Edelweiss
Bless my homeland
forever-

Half past twelve
and I'm watching
The late show
in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing
outside my window as
I look around the room
and it makes me
So depressed
to see the gloom
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To The break
of the day-

Movie stars find
the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different
From the world
I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and
I gaze into the night
but there's
Nothing there to see
no one in sight
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Ah ah ah ah
gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight
ah ah ah ah-

There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day-

The lights
in the harbour
don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
lost on the sea
the sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of
heartbreak -

No how did I lose you
where did I fall
why did you leave me
always to sail
the sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of heartbreak -

of what I'd give
to sail back to shore
back to your arms
once more so come
to my rescue
come here to me
Take me and keep me
away from the sea
sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of heartbreak
the sea of heartbreak
I'm dealin' in a
sea of
heartbreak -

Sometimes it's hard
to be a woman
Giving all your love
to just one man
You'll have bad times
and he'll have
good times
Doin' things that
you don't understand
But if you love
him you'll
forgive him
Even though he's hard
to understand
and if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after
all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him
two arms to cling to
And something
warm to come to
when nights
are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by your man -
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by
your man -

This romeo is
bleeding
But you can't see
his blood
It's nothing
but some feelings
That this old dog
kicked up
It's been raining
since you left me
Now I'm drowning
in the flood
You see I've always
been a fighter
But without you
I give up
Now I can't
sing a love song
Like the way
it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not
that good anymore
But baby
that's just me
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always
Now your pictures
that you left behind
Are just memories
of a different life
Some that made us
laugh some
That made us cry
one that made
You have to say
goodbye
What I'd give to run
my fingers through
Your hair
touch your lips
To hold you near
when you say
Your prayers try
to understand
I've made mistakes
I'm just a man
When he holds
you close
When he pulls
you near
When he says
the words you've been
Needing to hear
I'll wish
I was him cause those
words are mine
To say to you till the
end of time
That I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
if you told me
To cry for you
I could
If you told me
to die for you
I would
take a look at
My face
there's no price
I won't pay
to say
These words
to you

Well there ain't
no luck
In these loaded dice
but baby if you
Give me just
one more try
We can pack up
our old dreams
And our old lives
we'll find a place
Where the sun still
shines
And I will love you
baby always
And I'll be there
forever and a day
Always
I'll be there
Till the stars
don't shine
Till the heavens
burst and the words
Don't rhyme
and I know when
I die you'll be
on my mind
And I'll love you
always always

what have I got to do
to make you love me

to make you care
what do I do when
lightning strikes me
and I wake to find
that you're not there
what do I do to
make you want me
what have I got to do
to be heard
what do I say

and sorry seems to
be the hardest word

more and more
absurd

A message to you

Got a hold on me

A prison

Standing
in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
it's a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Love him
till your arms break
Then he
lets you down
It ain't right
with love to share
When you find
he doesn't care
For you
it ain't wise
To need someone
as much as
I depended on you
it's a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Hits you
when it's too late
Hits you
when you're down
It's
a fool's game
Nothing
but a fool's game
Standing
in the cold rain
Feeling

For you
it ain't wise
To need someone
as much as
I depended on you

Nothing

Love him

Cold rain

Then he
let's you down-

Uhm- kiss me quick

Love can fly

Just hurting

Kiss me quick
because I love you so-

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-
