How you gonna tell me that you really love me But you won't be loyal to me? Babe, things just don't add up to me I've been hanging on 'cause you been giving me hope That one day we might be something I guess I just misunderstood Baby, all that's left to say Is you're not who I thought Who I thought you were Don't act like you're gonna cry Don't make me go through this one more time Don't act like I didn't try Enough is enough, is enough, is enough Is tonight the night we break up? Tonight's the night, the night we break up, baby Tonight's the night, the ni-night we break up I know you think about her Go ahead and date her Now you won't be called a cheater I'll walk myself right out the door Baby, all that's left to say Is we're not what I thought What I thought we were Don't act like you're gonna cry Don't make me go through this one more time Don't act like I didn't try Enough is enough, is enough, is enough Is tonight the night we break up? Tonight's the night, the night we break up, baby Tonight's the night, the ni-night we break up So fucking sad So fucking mad How dare you put me in the middle of the wreckage And you called it love Love, love Don't act like you didn't see me cry Don't make me go through this one more... Don't act like you're gonna cry, oh baby no Don't make me go through this one more time Don't act like you didn't see me try Enough is enough, is enough, is enough Is tonight the night we break up? Ooh, woah So fucking sad, sad So fucking mad, mad But I still loved you up until the end (Tonight's the night, the ni-night we break up) Mad, I still loved you 'til the end (Tonight's the night, the night, night we break up) The end, the end

Along the edge of this airfield The old prop-shaft airliners stand Altimeters reading zero Formless memories lingering Nights are cold on this airfield I sit alone and watch the radar Locked on the wavelength, caught in the beam Falling slowly into the screen Every day that you wait Is one more that you've lost When you wake up I see you there On display Lights the final point of no return Taking us there from here And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) Into a sky that's clearing Look back we'll dry the tears For those once held so nearly And love will never disappear Along the edge of this airfield The old prop-shaft airliners stand Altimeters reading zero Formless memories lingering Lingering, lingering, lingering And we can fly from here Into a sky so clearly Look back, we'll dry the tears For those once held so nearly And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here (we can fly) And we can fly from here On the understanding that we can fly Everyday that you waste Is one more that you've lost On display That's a final point of no return Everyday that you waste Is one more that you've lost On display That's a final point of no return

I'll rise I'll fall I'll fail you all We built these cities to stand so tall We've lost our walls I don't want to lose it, coming down With the whole world upside-down I don't have a soul to trust in now With the whole world upside-down We are one tonight And we're singing it out We are one tonight And we're dreaming out loud And the world is flawed But these scars will heal We are one tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Two eyes One tongue I've come Undone I'm no victim I paid these dues I came to lose I don't want to fight about it now With the whole world upside-down I don't have a soul to trust in now With the whole world upside-down We are one tonight And we're singing it out We are one tonight And we're dreaming out loud And the world is flawed But these scars will heal We are one tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight I don't want to lose a common ground With the whole world upside-down I don't want to fight about it now And the world was burning out Let's slow the evening down Slow it down Slow down Please slow down Down The stars are coming out We are one We are one We are one We are one tonight We are one tonight And we're singing it out We are one tonight And we're dreaming out loud And the world is flawed But these scars will heal We are one tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight

Postcards and letters T-shirts and sweaters Passports and Parkas Mobiles and chargers Two tennis rackets Blue Rizla packets A new sheep-skin jacket I lost it all All through my life there have been Many rare and precious things I have tried to call mine But I just cannot seem To keep hold of anything For more than a short time Possessions of a sentimental kind They were mine, now they're not Gym-kits and trainers Asthma inhalers Silk-cuts and Bennies Ten-packs and twenties C-class narcotics Antibiotics The holes in my pockets I lost it all All that I'd like is to know Just where do those lost things go? When they slip from my hands Then one night in a dream I passed through a sheepskin screen To a green, pleasant land I found them all piled up into the sky And I cried tears of joy

It was not that long ago it first occurred to me That my mother was a person in her own right And now I realize how very lucky I have been And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can When I was a teenager, I really did believe That my parents had adopted me And the way I carried on they must have thought They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my Mother dear, she already knows Mother dear, she'll never let me go Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A. Because they take me for a foreign spy They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do Is make me look into my mother's eyes And I'll tell them anything they like Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear Mother dear, mother dear My mother dear Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can

Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong With a divine Beatles bassline And a big old Beach Boys sound I'll match you pound for pound Like heavy-weights in the final round We'll hold on to each other So we don't fall down Give me a wink And I'll give you what I think you're after With just one kiss I will whisk you away To where angels often tread We'll paint this planet red We'll stumble back to our hotel bed And make love to each other 'Til we're half dead Maybe now you can see Just what you mean to me Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong Give me your word That you'll be true to me always come what may Forever and a day No matter what other people may say We'll hold on to each other 'Til we're old and grey
