I had dreams and crazy schemes
Never felt this way before
I had days when I god raged
Never felt like this before
Endless nights that end in flights
Now I feel love
Chorus:
Never. Never. Never more than now
Never. Never. Never more than now
Never more than now
Paralysed by vicious lies
Never felt this way before
Seen hope die and grown men cry
Never felt like this before
Shed lonely tears and heartfelt fears
Now I feel love
(chorus)
A thing of beauty
Lasts forever
Stretches through all time
Every endeavour
No matter how hard
They might try
To build you up
And to bleed you dry
Never lose love. Never (2x)
Ever, ever, ever
(chorus)
A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake
Diamante can shine like a diamond
But you know, like I know
That rock will be fake
Chorus:
It's the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
It's real
You can xerox the Mona Lisa
Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail
Might beat customs on a home-made visa
But false papers
Only gets you in jail
(chorus)
Life wears a smile on its face
But it comes with a sting in its tail
Make believe fables have their place
But only a fool. Only a fool
Believes fairy tales
I heard all the lies that they tell ya
"Phone me baby. The cheque's in the mail"
Well as fantasy. It may please ya
As the real thing
It does nothing but fail
(chorus 2x)
Politicians preaching - on TV
Saying nothing but - vote for me
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...
One better world (3x)
Papers feeding - lies each day
Are you believeing - what they say?
Pulpit preachers - selling God
Making big bucks - is that enough?
Chorus:
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...
One better world
One better world
One better, better, better world
Someway - Somehow - Some place - Somewhere
Let the lion lie down with the lamb
Someway - Somehow - Some place - Somewhere
Don't use the colour of his skin to judge the man
Someway - Somehow - Some place - Somewhere
Does it matter if you're gay or if you're straight
Someway - Somehow - Some place - Somewhere
If it does you fill this world with hate
Underneath a flag
Love is just a name
But underneath the moon
We are all the same
(chorus)
Vandals in ermine
Rip city skylines
Dodge truth and virtue
With slick city bylines
A paragon of virtue
Until they hurt you
In power and in status
We know they hate us
Refrain 1:
So where is the heaven?
And where is there love
Where the hell is the heaven?
You're so proud of
Power is preaching
The virtues of poverty
Poor are left feeding
On cruel comedy... sad laughter
Rescue us all now
From fumes that choke us
Shift then these sad lives
Into sweet focus
(refrain 1)
That you boast of
Prestige it sits high
On Mammons after
Porsche hungry pinheads
On champagne and oysters
Headfull of hollow thoughts
Handful of sushi
Plug into Dallas
Plug into Dynasty
(refrain 1)
That you're so proud of
Now I am loving
Where once I was hating
Leading a good life
Stopped paging Satan
Played devils advocate
So many times
Lived in the shadow
But the sun will shine
(refrain 1)
You're so proud of
Where is the kingdom
You say we squander
Where the hell is the heaven?
Must we wait much longer?
Some men seek solace
Some take to drink
Some men find knowledge, yeah
At least that's what they think
Some take to violence
Streamlining their dreams
Some sit in silence
And learn what love can mean
Chorus:
Much further to go
Much further to crawl
But one day you'll find
The greatest love of all (3x)
The load is tough
The path is long
Strewn with rocks yeah
But you'd be wrong, so wrong
One single spark
Can start a prairie fire
When one man speaks truth
He fills the world with pure desire
(chorus)
One day united
One day free
You'll be rewarded
The one true path is unity
Fruit don't fall
Too far from the tree
One day we'll bathe
In true humility
Much further for truth
Much further to fall
I pray that you'll find
The greatest love of all (3x)
Sun beats hard
On Sunset Boulevard
Much harder still
In Notting Hill
A northwind blows
And carries me home
Carries my heart, carries my soul
When cool silks they turn to suede
When young dreams are torn and frayed
The South feels so cold and grey
Today! Today the North's too many miles away
Today! Today I got to get away
Chorus:
I'm driving north
I'm heading home
I'm driving back
To the place I once belonged
It's all gone silent
The light begins to fade
One man unplugs
The penny arcade
And carries me home
Carries my heart, carries my soul
(chorus)
One sweet bouquet
The flowers strewn
The petals scattered
Here in the North
No dreams are shattered
(chorus)
No we don't feel angry
No we don't feel betrayed
Unlike our fathers
We don't remember better days
No we don't feel angry
No we don't feel betrayed
We just live
In this day and age
I - I would swim the seven seas
I - I would crawl upon my knees
I - Climb mountains high for you
I - Would guarantee your every dream come true
...come true
Chorus:
Oh I - I'm in love with you
Yes it's true
Oh I - I wouldn't cheat on you
Yes it's true
Oh I - I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
With you...
I - I would drink an ocean dry
I - Would pluck the moon out from the sky
I - I would build a palace just for you
I - I could give you... Park Avenue
...Park Avenue
(chorus)
I - I could travel back in time
I - I would kill a man to make you mine
I - I would leap the Empire State
I - I'd win a war, just to conquer hate
...conquer hate
(chorus)
Refrain 1:
Rick and wealthy canvas
Clustered up in jewels
Finding all your heavyweights
Are featherweights and fools
Broken all your promises
Broken all your paper plates
Clustered in gold
Crusted in gold
Chorus:
Heavy and hollow
Look at the shape we're in
Find us here
Paper thin
Heavy and humble
Look at the shape we're in
Find us here
Paper thin
In origami cities
In nations built on sand
Love got bent right outta shape
Things got outta hand
Polystyrene skylines
Papier mache smiles
Rusted and bruised
Tarnished and frail
(chorus)
paper thin, paper thin...
Refrain 2:
Stars scrape the moon
And the moon scrapes the sky
We stand beneath
Wondering why
(refrain 2)
wondering why
Paper buys the men
The men that make to bomb
The bomb that makes this world
Paper thin!
Money markets crumble
Gentle as a drum
But if you see me stumble, I'm
Paper thin!
Life is but a fragile thing
So delicate and pure
An accolade bestowed on us
Paper thin
So contemplate the skull
The skull beneath the skin
One day we all die, we're
Paper thin!
Bury your destruction
In your last battle hymn
The barriers between us, make 'em all
Paper thin! Paper thin! (2x)
Underneath the paper moon
The sky is paper thin
Torn into a thousand shreds
So let the solar system in
(refrain 1)
In origami cities
In nations built on sand
Love got bent right outta shape
Nothing ends as planned
And it's all - Paper thin
Paper thin. Paper thin
