jimmy somerville - a dream gone wrong

How high a mountain must I climb
To reach for air
To breath the air so clear so pure
Could blow my mind
In my mind there is a place
For everyone for every taste
But in this life reality can shoot you dead
For the colour of your face

We can't all believe in the Lord on high
But it's our love that stops us crying
We can't change the fact
We are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching don't stop trying

I've seen a poison river flow
A land where nothing grows
I've watched the men of fascist mind
Kill in the name of love
The futile war the human crime
The sacred scream just biding time
And who are we to take in vain
This precious world I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
But it's our love that stops us crying
We can't change the fact
We are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching don't stop trying

If the dreams gone wrong
Let your heart be strong
If the dreams gone wrong

Don't let hope fade away

And who are we to take in vain
The precious world I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
But it's our love that stops us crying
We can't change the fact
We are born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching don't stop trying

jimmy somerville - alright

It was only the lights and the alcohol
But he looked like a porno star,
Some kind of adonis
And by my side I saw the angel sigh
As the devil won me over I knew
It was gonna be a wild night
Gonna be a wild night
He would make me feel alright
Make me feel alright

It was only the drugs and an altered mind
I gave myself to the pain,
It gave him pleasure
Oh it gave him a pleasure
He made me feel alright

He made me feel alright

Took me to paradise
Made me feel alright
The man made me alright

Made me feel alright

We were riding high to another plane
My eyes were closed,
But my mind was open to persuasion
Oh such persuasion

The blood had dried by the morning light
I was coming down but hell
We had such a wild night
Oh we had such a wild night

He made me feel alright
made me feel alright
You make me feel...

jimmy somerville - and you never thought that this could happen to yo

LATELY I'VE BEEN THINKING, 'BOUT MY SITUATION, BUILDING WALLS AROUND ME, WITH THEIR LEGISLATION, IF YOU ONLY COULD SEE, ALL THE LIES YOU'VE BELIEVED, THE WRONG THAT NEEDSUNDOING, THERE'S A POWER WE COMMAND, IF UNITED WE STAND, FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS .
AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU .
I BELIEVE THE BASIC THINGH IN LIFE, SHOULD BE FREE, HEALTH AND EDUCATION, HAVE PTIORITY, AND THEY'RE SELLING TO US, WHAT WE ALREDY OWN, ALL WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, THERE ARE LESSONS TO LEARN, BUT THE TIDE WE COULD TURN, SO IT'S DOWN TO YOU .
AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU .
HOLD ON .
EVERY THING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT .
IF YOU ONLY COULD SEE, ALL THE LIES YOU'VE BELIEVED, THE WRONG THAT NEEDS UNDOING, THERE'S A POWER WE COMMAND, IF UNITED WE STAND, FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHTS .

jimmy somerville - because of him

My heart is on fire
And it's out of control
Lake a blazing inferno
Oh boy I don't know
If I'm coming or going
My mind's out to lunch
Lost all concentration
and it's all because of him

With the wink of an eye
And there's chaos in sight
He just has to smile and I'm melting
And there's no drug I've tried
Could give such a high
As the heights that I reach
when he's near

My nails are a mess
And I couldn't care less
I'm calling it love
'cause there's on other word
And it's all because of him

Well I'm neither here
And I'm neither there
It's like I've exploded emotions
Everywhere
And it's all because of him

jimmy somerville - breadline britain

This is Breadline Britain
This free and promised land
Where the rich don't give a damn
People getting hungry and people
getting poor
People getting destitute and more
This is Breadline Britain

Oh you've got to understand
Where evil's in command
Where money buys only pipedreams
and a worker's life is damned
Democracy and freedom are a
Far off foreign land

Where the sick don't stand a chance
Where fascism leads a new dance
Where they'd privatise your mother
If given half a chance
This is Breadline Britain
You've got to make a stand

Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain
Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain
This free and promised land

jimmy somerville - close to the edge

Ooooh.

Close to the edge, close to the edge
And I won't fall over, won't fall over no way
Close to the edge, close to the edge
And I won't fall over, won't fall over no way

Ooooh.

Don't stand and watch me, it's a long long way down
Don't stand and watch me, it's a long long way down, yeah
Watch me fall, would you catch me as I fell?
Watch me fall, would you catch me as I fell?

Ooooh.

Ooooh. Save me save me.
Ooooh. Save me save me.
Ooooh. Save me save me.
Ooooh. Save me save me.

It's a long way down. It's a long way down.
It's a long way down. It's a long way down.
It's a long way down. It's a long way down.
Close to the edge, but I won't fall off
Close to the edge, but I won't fall off

jimmy somerville - by your side

Whatever we may do
Whatever we may fall
All I ask of you
Please love me too, like I love you

Always, always
By your side

We share the pain inside
Together we will try
To understand, why?
For those who die, so many friends
Goodbye

Always, always
By your side

If life is all we are
Then shine like every star
Nothing lasts forever
Time will make our history
As love will too

Always, always
By your side

jimmy somerville - c minor

NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU GO, WHAT YOU DO,
WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM ME.
WHO HE IS, WHAT'S HIS NAME, WHERE HE LIVES, ALL THE AIMS,
BUT NO LONGER WILL I PLAY YOUR FOOLISH GAME.
YOU TOOK ME HEART AND YOU TORE IT IN TOO MANY PIECES,
BUT I'VE PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AGAIN.
THERE'S A FIRE DOWN IN ME
THAT'S BURNING SO BRIGHT
WITH A LONGING, WITH A YEARNING TO BE FREE.
I WON'T CRY, I WON'T CRY,
NO I WON'T WASTE MY TEARS,
I'LL GET BY, I'LL SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU.
I GAVE YOU THE STARS, I GAVE YOU THE MOON AND MY HEART,
BUT YOU TOOK THEM ALL AND THREW THEM ALL AWAY.
I DON'T WANT YOU, I DON'T NEED YOU,
HARD AS I TRY,
I'VE GOT STRENGTH ENOUGH DOWN INSIDE FOR TWO.
WHEN YOU LEAVE, WHEN YOU LEAVE,
JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY,
I WON'T WASTE MY BREATH, MY TEARS,
THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY.

jimmy somerville - c mon c mon

We stand here trapped and so angry
These walls are crumblin' down around me
We've never got any money
It never seems to be around any more

So c'mon c'mon release me baby
Only if you could
C'mon c'mon relieve me darlin'
This boy ain't what he should be tonight

This is no big-big moment
Can't see a second chance
They'd even stops us from dancing
And try to end our romance
The emptiness that surrounds me
This inner city decay
It doesn't stop me from waiting
To live our life our own way

So c'mon c'mon release me baby
Only if you could
C'mon c'mon relieve me darlin'
This boy ain't what he should be tonight

This boy ain't what he should be tonight
This boy ain't what he should be tonight
Together we fight
We'll make it tonight

The same the whole world over
No love to save our souls
Some people think it's funny
Alredy reached their goals
Preaching victorian values
Now in this day and age
No wonder we're still angry
We can't contain our rage any more

Obe diama

Obe denusu

C'mon c'mon release me baby
C'mon c'mon relieve me darlin'
This boy ain't what he should be tonight

jimmy somerville - cadillac car

Sell me your soul
And I'll make you a star
Fantasies turned realities
And a Cadillac car

Watch them hero worship
The boys at the bar
You they idolise
The all boy America

We will make them be your doggies
We will make them kiss you ass
As you bathe in gold and blood
May the best boy win

Let the winner beg for refuge
Feast upon the loser's heart
We could live in pain forever
If I made you a star

You, me the doggies and a
Cadillac car
De ba da dee daââ?¬¦

jimmy somerville - can t take my eyes off of you

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
Boy I want to hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off of you

Oh, in the way that I stare
There's nothin' else to compare
The thought of you leaves me weak
There're no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Oh, did let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
Boy I want to hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night

To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say...

jimmy somerville - come lately

I've never felt such a need in me
Such a need as his
With hungry arms,
I gather all the worth he gives
It feels so good, you invert me
It delights me
You're so subversive
So sublime, so sacrosanct

Come lately
I can't get by without your love
Come lately
I can't get by without your love

I could not help
Falling for such a charming man
I realised something rare
When I found you
That's why I try to do the best
At what I can
You make me happy
Don't want to lose you
I've got to keep you on my side

Come lately
I can't get by without your love
Come lately
I can't get by without your love

What could I do, without you...

Come lately
I can't get by without your love

jimmy somerville - coming

I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you

In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free

Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me

I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man

We are joined, we are one
With the human face
We are joined, we are one
With the human face

I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying

I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying

I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you

In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free!

Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me

Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me

I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man

Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face

At last I am free!
At last I am free!

I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying

I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born, I am dying

At last I am free!
At last I am free!!!

Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!
Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!
