If I Saw You In A Movie

Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

I got an email from you today
With a poem that you wrote
I was touched because you felt it
And 'cause I nearly let you go

Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

This long distance has me outta my mind
But it gives me time to think
And it gives me room to see you
In another light

Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

Sweet, won't let you go, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

And I know
If I saw you in a movie
I know
You're doing all the things you do for me
I know
If I saw you in a movie
Doing all the things you do
I would fall in love with you

Sweet, won't let you go, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

And I know
If a saw you in a movie
I know
You're doing all the things you do for me
I know
If I saw you in a movie
Doing all the things you do
I would fall in love with you

Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

Sweet, won't let you go
Sweet, won't let you go

If I saw you in a movie
Won't let you go
If I saw you in a movie
Won't let you go
If I saw you in a movie
Won't let you go
If I saw you in a movie

Virus Of The Mind

Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo

While I was watching this talk show the other day
And on it there was this guy
And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right
when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said
That's a virus of the mind, that's a virus of the mind"
Well I guess it's kinda like loosing your sight
For a second you think that they might be right
And it feeds the doubts that you have inside
It almost starts to feels like a crime
To follow your own rhythm and rhyme

I'm pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your
Virus of the mind
Your virus of the mind

Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo
virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo

Well I went to this party thing last night
A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long long time
And they wanted to know about my life
But making me feel like it wasn't quite right
Like "Where's your kids?" and "Where is you car?"
I said "I don't have either but I have a guitar"
And I ended up feeling like I was a freak
So I found some wine and something to eat
I talked to the dog to pass the time
I told myself "I'm doing just fine"

It's just a virus of the mind
It's just a virus of the mind
I'm pretty happy living in my my own sweet time
Living in my
Yeah I'm pretty happy
And I don't need your virus of the mind

Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo
you're a virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo

It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue
It's the feeling you get, when you feel young
It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine
It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time
But they tell you what you should have, they tell you who you should be
It's in the pictures and ads and in the magazines
I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze
Cause is anyone out there inside me
I say "Is anyone out there inside me?"
I say "Is anyone?"

Oooooh ooh hooo
I'm pretty happy living in my my own sweet time
living in my
yeah I'm pretty happy
and I don't need your virus of the mind

Do do do do do da do doo doo
you're a virus of the mind
Do do do do do da do doo doo (no no)

Do do do do do da do doo doo
Do do do do do da do doo doo (no no)
Do do do do do da do doo doo (no no I don't need it)

Do do do do do da do doo doo (no no)
Do do do do do da do doo doo (no no don't you see it?)

Do do do do do da do doo doo

Waste The Day

Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do

The streets are all busy
We're still in bed
We should be up working
But we're lying here instead
I look outside
The weather's fine
For playing music and drinking wine

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend the day with you

Let's walk to the café
And sit in the sun
And read all the papers
And watch everyone
Cause life is short
Life is sweet
And sometimes you've just got to set yourself free

I could waste the day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend the day with you
What a perfect way to spend the day with you
What a perfect way to spend the day with you

I could waste a day with you
I could slip away into
Another dimension
What a perfect way to spend a day
Yeah what a perfect way to spend a day with you
Yeah what a perfect way to spend a day with you
Yeah what a perfect way to spend a day with you

Heaven Sent

Got the lights down low, the street below
The world inside is spinning
All my memories, my doubts about the ways that I've been living
You come on like the sun
And blow it all away
I guess

Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into what I can't describe
It's all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
You're in my head, in my veins, in my world
And you're here to stay

Every day I wake, I hesitate
I feel you're in my sky
All my melodies, my dreams it seems
You're always on my mind
You come on like a tide you turn me
And I can't turn away

And I guess
Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
In my head, in my veins, in my world
And you're here to stay

And I guess
Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
And I'm heading into, what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
In my head

Heaven sent you
Cause I'm heaven high
In my head

Heading into, what I can't describe
You're all I ever wanted, but I'm terrified
In my head, in my veins, in my world, yeah
In my head, in my veins, in my world, yeah
Heaven sent you
Heaven sent you
Heaven sent you

In my head, in my veins, in my world
And you're here to stay

It's Only Love

Love...
I used to think that I knew what we needed
I just assumed we would always be fine
Now I don't think that we lost the feeling
But we, let everything build up inside

It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so long

What a challenge, honesty
What a struggle to learn to speak
Who would've thought that pretending was easier

It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so.. long

And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart only
Love..
And it's all, an eternity
Hoping to learn only
Love..

Love..

There's a part of you I'm trying to reach
Still a part I don't know
Tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief
Do you wish I'd let go

It's only love
But love.. should make us strong
It's only love
But love.. has been hurting so.. long

And it's all, a part of me
It tears at my heart
Only love
And it's all, eternity
Hoping to learn
Only love

Only.. Only love.. Love..
Only love.. Love..

I'm No Angel

Are you ready
For me to be stronger
I'm keeping my distance
My voice to a whisper

Are you ready
For me to surrender
'cause I find in my return
There's no need to hide these words

Cause maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines

And I want to
I want to be endless
I want to be helpless
I want to be true
Like a sunbeam
The shadow's behind me
Sliding out of view
Let me bring it home to you

Maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines

'Cause here I am, here I am
I've been running long enough to know
Here I am, here I stand
All this running's got me longing in my soul
Longing in my soul

Maybe I'm no angel
But I feel like I could fly
And maybe there's no rainbow
But my love for you still shines

Yeah maybe I'm no angel angel
Feel like feel like I could fly
Yeah but maybe there's no rainbow
But my love love for you still shines
My love still shines

Help Me Be Good To You

Here in the light of late afternoon
Sun on the water, I'm thinking of you
How we've come too far
To be drifting apart
All this distance we're losing
I know it's my fault

But I think that I love you
I know that I do
I just need you
To help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you

I don't know why
I can't settle down
Something from my childhood
I still haven't found
And I don't wanna hurt you
With all my longings and my doubts
Just the way I need to feel free
I can see how it brings you down

Well I think that I love you
I know that I do
I just need you
To help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, please help me
Help me be good to you

Help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me, help me, help me
Help me be good to you
Help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you
Help me, help me be good to you

When Somebody Turns You On

Can you hear me

Could you see it coming
Like an avalanche
I only felt the need
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

When somebody turns you on
It's like a light in the dark goes on
It's like you've waited for rain, you've waited
So long
When somebody turns you on

Were you waiting, were you waiting
When you took my hand
Were you aching with me
Did you understand
I only felt the heat
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

When somebody turns you on
It's like a light in the dark goes on
It's like you've waited for rain, you've waited
So long
When somebody turns you on

Your eyes go straight to my soul
And I know this is good
It goes deep like I know it should yeah
We've just got to let love grow

It's like you've waited for rain, you've waited
So long
When somebody turns you on

When somebody turns you on

Gloomy Sunday

( Rezso Seress )

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday

Tested

Simplicity, is what we need
And I know it in my heart
So many choices make us think we need
What we haven't got

I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness

And if I knew what Buddha taught
And would my wings unfold
And if I had all that I want
Could I let it go

I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness

And sometimes I feel I'm learning to crawl
Like I'm still learning how to love
And sometimes I feel like I'm losing it all
But I know there must be some way we can rise above

I've been blessed, by you
I've been tested, by an angel
I've been blessed, by you
And I know and I believe
There's a way out to the sea of happiness
And I know and I believe
And I know and I believe
And I know and I believe

Just Been Born

My heart opened, like an oyster shell
I drank salt water, from your lips
And just below the equator
I swallowed the pearl

And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born

And the sea rolled in
And rose around us
Your face above me
Darkening the stars
And as the waves are breaking out along the reef
I dived for your heart

And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born

Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Want you yeah

Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Want you yeah

My heart opened, like an oyster shell
I drink salt water, from your lips
And just below the equator
I swallowed the pearl

And I feel, and I feel, and I feel like I've just been born

Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you want you yeah
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you
Honey honey, yeah I want you, yeah...

Sweet November

( Virus Of The Mind EP )

Sweet november.. you stole my heart
I let it go with all the fear and doubt
Sweet november.. you opened my mind
With all the sweetness that you left behind
And I'm living, with a vision of you
All the days grow colder, but I know
It's not the way I'm holding on but how I'm letting go
And how I will remember
Sweet november

And now you're with me
You're with me in the sun
I'm a baby in a world that's just begun
And now you're with me
You're with me in the rain
I'm so glad that I will never be the same
Cause I'm living with a vision of you

All the leaves are falling, falling down like snow
It's not the way I'm holding on it's how I'm letting go
But how, I will remember
Sweet november
Sweet november

Paint The World

( Virus Of The Mind EP )

It's like a chain reaction
Misunderstanding every word
It's like a train to nowhere
And everyone gets hurt

And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye

We never go the distance
We just circle in the dirt
And I could say I'm sorry
But I want you to say it first

And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye

This is so stupid
This is all so lame
This is so stupid
Playing these games
Everything is unfocused
Everything is stained
This is so stupid
Playing these games

Well I could learn to fake it
And you could learn to bruise
And maybe we can make it
But then it's easier to lose

And maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to see it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye

This is so stupid
This is all so lame
This is so stupid
Playing these games
Everything is unfocused
Everything's in pain
This is so stupid

Maybe if I paint the world.. black
And maybe if I paint the world.. white
Cause you don't seem to feel it quite like I do
And we don't seem to see it eye to eye

In The Garden

( I'm No Angel EP )

In the garden
Was it peaceful
Did he show you how the marigolds grew
When he gave you
Liquorice Allsorts
With the things he only shared with you

I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today

In the garden, in the orange grove
Did he play the games you liked to play
By the fishpond
And the dragon-flies
With the things you swore you never say

I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today

So turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
I don't want my body now
I don't want my body now
So turn the sun around
Around, around, around

I don't remember, what it feels like
I only know that I don't wanna give it away
I don't remember, all the details
I only know that I don't wanna feel it today

Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
I don't want my body now
I don't want my body now
So turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Turn the sun around
Around, around, around, around, around

Man In The Ocean

( I'm No Angel EP )

This is a song for the man who went down
This is a song for the man in the ocean
This is a heartbeat
This is a part of me

Everyone's reading in, in the papers
Feeling the fear and forgetting it later
This is a heartbeat
This is a part of me

This is the first step learning to fall
These are the wings, this is the call
This is the first kiss, bringing it home
This is the breath and the sex and the bones

And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel

And this is the curse to the wave, that threw you
This is the shame of the years I slept
This is the glory, these are the tears
This is the longing in your belly
This is the siren in your veins
This is the light in the eyes of angels
This is the dark in the heart of danger

And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel

We live forever in our minds
But still we know there's never time
Enough to share with the ones we love
Enough to carry you above
I feel the cheap waste of time
I feel the weight you left behind
I feel, this is a part of me

And my hands, are full of life
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And my hands, are full of life
Oooh, you make me feel

And I know how loud a heart can beat
And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me
And I know, I know
Cause I've heard them scream

This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
