Leave in Silence
My Secret Garden
Monument
See You
Satellite
The Meaning of Love
A Photograph of You
Shouldn't Have Done That
The Sun & the Rainfall
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion,
I hate being in these situations
That calls for diplomatic relations
If I only knew the answer,
Or I thought we had a chance,
Or I could stop this,
I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer
(Chorus)
What can I say?
I don't want to play anymore
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence (2x)
We've been running round in circles all year,
Doing this and that and getting nowhere.
This will be the last time,
I think I said that last time.
If I only had a potion,
Some magical lotion,
I could stop this,
I would stop this
I would set the wheels in motion.
(Chorus)
My secret garden's no so secret anymore!
Run from the house, holding my head in my hands,
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel,
(Chorus)
It all seems so absurd,
That this should have occurred,
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore
No, my secret garden's not so secret
anymore!
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water,
Can't stay long, Here comes the reason why:
She'll catch me if she can,
Take me by the hand,
I'll have to keep on running
And I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden, not being secret anymore!
It used to be so easy on days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers.
I loved it! - I loved her!
Play the fool; act so cruel - (I loved it)
Read a book; take a look - (I loved her)
(Chorus)
When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else you going to see
What it's going to be like!
So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light,
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight?
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes when you need glasses!
My monument - it fell down (2x)
Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smile the way it was before
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you
(Chorus)
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true?
I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
We'd sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
Look in each others eyes
You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance
But I swear I won't touch you
(chorus)
Well I know five years is a long time
and that times change
But I think that you'lll find People are basically the same
If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in,
We can relieve our youth
But we'll just stay friendly like sister
and brother
Though I think I still love you
(Chorus)
Now hear this my friends
I'll never be the same again
Going to lock myself in a cold black room
Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Driven to this point by a chain of events
Each one pushed me nearer the edge
Going to send my message through to you
You'll receive the signal too
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Higher, higher
Disillusioned - I was disenchanted
Forgot the love that had been implanted
Heard the lies and I felt the cold
It broke my heart and I lost control -
Now I'm a satellite of a free state
I'm a satellite of hate
A satellite of hate
Higher
I've read more than a hundred books
Seen love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places I've looked
It's still no clearer,
It's just not enough,
I'm still no nearer
The meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldn't say with precision
Know it's a feeling and it comes from above
But what's the meaning, the meaning of love?
The meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far,
Love seems something like wanting a scar,
But I could be wrong,
I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine,
If they could spare a few minutes of their time,
Their look suggested that I've lost my mind,
Tell me the answer
My Lord high above
Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that I've made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
Well I could be wrong
I'm just not sure you see,
I've never been in love before
Tell me the meaning of love
Tell me
What good is a photograph of you?
Every time I look at it
It makes me feel blue!
What use is a souvenir of something
We once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad!
I wish I could tear it up
But then again I haven't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire,
I wish I could,
But to say I would,
I'd be a liar!
What good is a colour print of a little baby doll?
When just one little glance is enough to make me feel dull?
I hoped I would misplace it
But then I take such good care of it
I wish it would disappear
I say I wish
But then I relish it being here!
What good is a photograph of you
Every time I look at it
It makes me feel blue
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history,
Remember that!
Mummy's annoyed, says go and play,
Don't show your face,
Stay away all day,
Shouldn't have done that!
Small boy and his infantry,
Marching around so naturally,
Shouldn't have done that!
Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud of that
Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants,
To be a politician,
Shouldn't have done that!
Someone will call,
Something will fall
And smash on the floor.
Without reading the text,
Know what comes next
(Seen it before)
And it's painful
(Chorus)
Things must change
We must re-arrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
A game's not worth playing
Over and over again
You're the one I like best
You retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you
Don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall
(Chorus)
