A Beautiful Sea
Fake deals in the supermarket
TVs selling what you can't get
She laughs, "Nowhere is as pretty as this"
Gray cars crawling in the slow lane
Lost stars waiting for the dart train
She smiles, turns and blows the city a kiss
Under the waves I feel her pull my body down
Under the waves she takes me where I wanna drown
I can be miles away, she calls to me
This girl is a beautiful sea
Freeze-frame graffiti at the bus stop
Star Wars, chewing gum and punk rock
She says, "What d'you say we give this a miss?"
Let's go, take where the wind blows
Sail ships far into tomorrow
We can turn and blow the city a kiss
Under the waves I feel her pull my body down
Under the waves she takes me where I wanna drown
I can be miles away, she calls my name
She gets into my veins
And writes my poetry
This girl is a beautiful sea
The girl is a beautiful sea
This girl is a beautiful sea
The girl is a beautiful sea
Brown Shoes
Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
You wear a dress and tell me not to wear brown shoes
You think you're man enough to wash the makeup off my face right now?
But don't you know the bigger that they are the harder they fall?
And the boot's on the other foot now
Buckle up, we're taking you down
See, your curtain's falling, so take your bow
And who the hell is he to tell me who to be?
If he wants me dancing, he can watch on MTV
You try to shut me up
I'll turn the volume up
And drown you out
But don't you know the bigger that they are the harder they fall?
Yeah, the boot's on the other foot now
Buckle up, we're taking you down
See, your curtain's falling, so take your bow
Cause you had your time in the sun
And it's no use banging your drum
Now the boot's on the other foot, take your bow
What's gonna define the rest of your life?
Start facing the truth
You're stuck in a lie
Sharp end of your knife is pointing at you
Your up will be down
Just hanging around in gravity boots
You're stuck in the past
I'm writing the future
Yeah, the boot's on the other foot now
Buckle up, we're taking you down
And your mask is slipping, so take your bow
Yeah, you had your time in the sun
Does it hurt when you're kicking someone?
Cause the boot's on the other foot
Boot's on the other foot
Boot's on the other foot now
Yeah, take your bow
Drive It Like You Stole It
You just can't stand the way that I walked out from the wreckage
Can't understand the way that I turned myself around
I tried to terminate this war
With you
But you won't let it go
You keep coming back for more
Freedom
I'm takin' it back
I'm outta here, no turnin' back
In a baby blue Cadillac
Just when I was stallin'
I heard an angel callin'
This is your life
You can go anywhere
You gotta grab the wheel and own it
And drive it like you stole it
Roll it
This is your life
You can be anything
You gotta learn to rock and roll it
You gotta put the pedal down
And drive it like you stole it
And drive it like you stole it
We get stuck in the dirt
And we can't see where we're going
We face all kinds of hurt
And the friction slows us down
But I won't be waiting here for the world to win me gold
And I'll leave your dust behind me
Stranded in the road
Freedom
I'm takin' it back
Attitude
I'm givin' it back
In a baby blue Cadillac
Just when I was stallin'
I heard an angel callin'
This is your life
You can go anywhere
You gotta grab the wheel and own it
You gotta put the pedal down
And drive it like you stole it
This is your life
You can go anywhere
You gotta grab the wheel and own it
And drive it like you stole it
Just roll it
This is your life
You can be anything
You gotta learn to rock and roll it
You gotta put the pedal down
And drive it like you stole it
(Hoo, hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh)
And drive it like you stole it
(Hoo, hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh)
And drive it like you stole it
(Hoo, hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh)
And drive it like you stole it
(Hoo, hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh)
Управляй ею словно ты угнал её
Тебе не понравится путь, который я проделал с руин,
Не поймёшь дорогу, на которую я себя направил.
Я пытался положить конец войне
С тобой,
Но ты не захотел,
Ты пришёл за большим.
Свобода!
Я возвращаю её.
Я здесь, нет возврата;
В нежно-голубом Кадиллаке,
Когда увиливаю,
Слышу зов ангелов.
Это твоя жизнь!
Ты можешь езжать куда угодно,
Ты должен схватиться за баранку и крутить,
И управлять, будто ты украл её.
Крути!
Это твоя жизнь!
Ты можешь езжать куда угодно,
Ты должен учиться крутиться и вращаться,
Ты должен жать на газ,
И управлять, будто ты украл её,
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
Мы застряли в грязи
И не видим, куда ехать.
Мы сталкиваемся со всевозможными неприятностями,
И разногласия тормозят нас,
Но не стой, позволяя миру вручить мне золото,
Я буду гнать, оставляя твою пыль позади,
Застревая в дороге.
Свобода!
Я возвращаю её.
Настрой!
Возвращаю его.
В нежно-голубом Кадиллаке,
Когда увиливаю,
Слышу зов ангелов.
Это твоя жизнь!
Ты можешь езжать куда угодно,
Ты должен схватиться за руль и вести,
Ты должен жать на газ,
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
Это твоя жизнь!
Ты можешь езжать куда угодно,
Ты должен схватиться за руль и вести,
Ты должен жать на газ,
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
Крути!
Это твоя жизнь!
Ты можешь быть кем угодно,
Ты должен учиться крутиться и вращаться,
Ты должен жать на газ,
И управлять, будто ты украл её,
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
И управлять, будто ты украл её!
Girls
Sometimes I pull myself apart
I shift my shape the way I change my colours
Guess I'm a human work of art
A never-ending video-o-o
Truth gets distorted by the facts
Peace is in danger and the trust gets broken
Love always comes under attack
But at the end of all of this
Oh, oh, oh
All the complicated boys
Boys know that the girls are so complicated
Try to open up your mind
Let go, can you feel your heart liberated
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys?
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
We're all just diamonds in the rough
I'm still a stranger in the bathroom mirror
Stare at me long and hard enough
You might see someone that you love
Oh, oh, oh
All the complicated boys
Boys know that the girls are so complicated
Try to open up your mind
Let go, can you feel your heart liberated
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys?
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys
And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls
Oh, it's complicated
The Riddle Of The Model
She's standing on the corner
Like an angel in disguise
And as I look a little closer
She's got dangerous eyes
She tells me she's a model
Of international reputation
She's lightning in a bottle
But there's a stipulation
She's so indecipherable
She holds the key to the missing code
Just the thought of her touch, my mind explodes
So desirable
Time never will unfold
Oh, oh, oh
The riddle of the model
The odds are against her
In this little city
She's got a taste for adventure
And she knows she's pretty
She's the face of an angel
And the heart of a sinner
And if you play with danger
How you gonna win her?
She's so indecipherable
She holds the key to the missing code
Just the thought of her touch, my mind explodes
So desirable
Time never will unfold
I'll never unravel
The riddle of the model
To Find You
When you were staring at your bedroom wall
With only ghosts beside you
Somewhere out where the wind was calling
I was on my way to find you
I was on my way to find you
When you were racing like a cannonball
In roller skates and sky blue
Or in the backseat watching the slow rain falling
I was on my way to find you
I gotta find out who I'm meant to be
I don't believe in destiny
But with every word you swear to me
All my beliefs start caving in
And I feel something's about to change
So bring the lightning, bring the fire, bring the fall
I know I'll get my heart through
Got miles to go, but from the day I started crawling
I was on my way to find you
I was on my way to find you
I was on my way, every day
I was on my way to find you
Up
It's two o'clock on the edge of the morning
She's running magical circles around my head
I hitch a ride on a dream she's driving
She turns to kiss me, I crash back into bed
Across the street on a grayed out Monday
I see the girl with the eyes I can't describe
And suddenly it's a perfect Sunday
And everything is more real than life
I think I'm back in the dream
I think I'm back on the ceiling
It's such a beautiful feeling
Going up
She lights me up
She breaks me up
She lifts me up
You find a mystery bound in perfection
You've got to read, but you don't wanna reach the end
Cause what if everything beautiful's fiction
And this reality's just pretend?
And then I'm back in the dream
I'm looking up at the ceiling
It's such a beautiful feeling
Going up
She lights me up
She breaks me up
She lifts me up
Up to the stars she shows me
Dame Street, George's Street, miles below me
Up where the world won't let us down
(Na, na, na, na)
Going up
(It's two o'clock on the edge of the morning)
She lights me up
(She's running magical circles around my head)
She breaks me up
(I hitch a ride on a dream she's driving)
She lifts me up
