i have been on my own since the age of twelve
i could not be told i only listened to myself
i lost my faith i lost my trust i threw away a lot
i didn't need no mum or dad, no teacher and no god
a rebel i have never been i think i was too smart
i never gave away my hope as i did with my heart
years have passed and finally i've found someone who can
listen to my aching heart and wants to understand
she listens to her mum and dad although she's 24
boy, if they knew she'd been with me and what she did before
when so-called security becomes an iron fence
there's little opportunity for love so intense
when i awoke this morning i had you on my mind
you didn't have no money not a penny not a dime
i saw your face so clearly it didn't tell no tales
i wondered what had happened to my little nightingale
when i awoke this morning all i could see was you
i caught a teardrop falling like the early morning dew
its taste was rather bitter i wondered what was wrong
i asked you very cautiously "hey babe what's going on"
"when i awoke this morning you were on my mind
you didn't have no money not a penny not a dime"
i said "that's weird my darling cos i felt just the same
don't know what's on your mind right now, but please don't be ashamed
when i awoke this morning my heart was full of guilt
and when i went to bed last night it was just heaven filled
you cried and hold my face cuz that's what happened to you too
i wished it could be night again, in heaven i meet you
a secret so well hidden
like a thought that's been forbidden
will consume your mind
it's only a matter of time
a secret starts and ends
by sharing it with friends
if covered up by a lie
you know that love may die
a secret is a power
it gets stronger by the hour
it gives fear a second life
between lovers it's a knife
a secret must be shared
if you know somebody's there
who knows how to listen
a friend you could've been missin'
it ain't no sin
i feel no guilt
we tore down
a fence we'd built
are we lovers
as we have kissed
i wanted the arm
i got the wrist
you saw my sky
where was yours
beyond the fence
there were some doors
who's got the key
for the last door
i wanna go through
i want more
i feel no guilt if that's what you mean
and i also know my conscience is clean
is there a reason why i should feel guilty
what we did last night may not be called filthy
our thoughts and desires seem so pure
yes i know one cannot be 100% sure
we were naked; does that make me a winner
i don't feel ike that and i ain't no sinner
guilt is a killer; i don't believe in sin no more
you better tell your mum and dad you've done it all before
big brother
is a tiny little man
who's snooping around like a weasel
and he's looking like a clown
big brother
is a dirty old man
his breath cna kill an elephant
you can smell it all around
big brother
is an inconspicuous mand
but he will always tell
everything that he has found
big brother
is a tiny little man
who's snooping around like a weasel
and he's looking like a clown
silence is killing
your mind so unwilling
avoiding me
annoying me
you're anger filled
consumed by guilt
talk to me - yell at me - cry to me
whatever you want
i ain't no hero
i ain't no saviour
i need an explanation for your current behaviour
i'd like to know what's going on
need to know where i went wrong
so talk to me or yell at me and cry to me
whatever you want
every day i check the mail
and every day again
i hope to hear from you
a single word all the same
i've never ever believed
in an impossible love
all's possible but a lifetime
might not be long enough
you are the kick i want
the drug i take
the girl i need
the love i make
my fire keeps on burning
iwhile thoughts get colder
i can wait while the postman
retires and grows older
all i can see is the hypocrite
who knows when i stand and when i sit
a thousand eyes are watching me
what i do is what they see
i'm alive and not yet dead
what you see is what you get
sense of humour is what they lack
that's why they stab me in the back
one day you feel trusted
next day you get busted
backstabbed once again
colleagues watch their so-called friends
they shut their eyes and tie their hands
frustration lies and gossip rules
when you're working with a bunch of fools
who don't know what life is all about
if you're not like them they shut you out
they're too scared for a frontal attack
that's why they stab me in the back
if it's marriage you choose
it's life you lose
if it's the ring you need
love will bleed
but if you just need a friend
i can understand
once in a while
you lose your style
but not your pride
cuz you can fight
or just go away
if you don't want to stay
don't wait for death to part
and free you heart
everyone needs a friend
a helping hand
a real friend never cheats
your heart never bleeds
though you may be hurt
by a thought or a word
but your soul will remain
all free and sane
you cando what you want
you can be who you want
no chains no restriction
friendship or fiction
you know city hall
is not romantic at all
it's the perfect place
to lose your face
to lose your friends
don't tie your hands
if you have love to give
you know why you live
love to give and take
choose before it's too late
marriage or love
nothing to hide
nothing to show
nothing to learn
nothing to know
nowhere to hide
nowhere to go
nowhere to stay
nowhere i know
hey i'm easy to be recognized
it's sad and yet it's true
i'm the only real rock 'n' roll guy
with no piercings nor a tattoo
i need no extra holes
to prove that i'm for real
a needle may be good for fools
you don't know how i feel
now it's fashion, what about tomorrow
safety pins and tribal culture
if that's gone who will they follow
removal is even worse than torture
i need no extra holes
to prove that i'm for real
a needle may be good for fools
you don't know how i feel
