1. All the Days
All my life, I’ve been searching for somebody
Somebody just like you
All my dreams, I’ve been dreaming ‘bout somebody
And now they’re all coming true
Somebody to love, to have and to hold
Somebody to make me warm when I’m cold
All the days of my life
No mistakes, it’s alright
Life was so lonely, ‘til you came and showed me
Just how good a true love could be
Taking it slowly at first, you’d just hold me
And give me the strength I would need
And I hope and I pray
You will be safe
Here by my side
Night after night after night
All the days of my life
No mistake, it’s alright
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days of my life
And I hope and I pray
You will be safe
Here by my side
Night after night after night
All the days of my life
No mistaking, it’s alright
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days of my life
No mistake, it’s alright
All the days, all the days of my life
All the days of my life
No mistaking, it’s alright
All the days, all the days of my life
2. Can't Take the Hurt
There’s evil in your eyes
I can see the signs
Waiting for a chance to strike
What is it I have done?
You used to be such fun
Now all you do is kick and bite
Can’t take the hurt any more
This love ain’t worth fighting for
Can’t take the hurt
Got malice on your mind
Gonna win this time
Feel you moving in for the kill
What happened to my world?
What happened to us girl?
Somehow I have lost the will
Can’t take the hurt any more
This love ain’t worth fighting for
Can’t take the hurt any more
This isn’t love, it’s a war
I can’t take it no more
Can’t take the hurt any more
This love ain’t worth fighting for
Can’t take the hurt any more
This isn’t love, it’s a war
I can’t take it no more
Can’t take the hurt any more
This love ain’t worth fighting for
Can’t take the hurt any more
This isn’t love, it’s a war
I can’t take it no more
3. Dark Star
Made in heaven, or so we thought, you and I
A love pre-destined, so strong it never could die
The raging waters were so still at the start
For just a moment, we were caught in the spark
With both our hearts and minds, we swore that we would be
Lovers ‘till the end of time, forever you and me, you and me
It seemed so easy, being here by your side
But love ain’t easy, it hardly ever runs right
And now it’s going wrong, it’s slipping through our hands
The tide is getting strong, we’re losing sight of land
And there’s a
Dark Star rising
Dark Star, out on the horizon
Dark Star burning
Dark Star, keeps on turning on the hurting
Now we’re hurting, now we’re hurting
So it’s your life and you need to be free
But this is my life and I need you to need me
What happened to us girl, what happened to the love?
Seems like we were blown of course, the water’s getting rough
And there’s a
Dark Star rising
Dark Star, out on the horizon
Dark Star burning
Dark Star, keeps on turning on the hurting
Now we’re hurting, now we’re hurting
Dark Star rising
Dark Star, out on the horizon
Dark Star burning
Dark Star, keeps on turning on the hurting
Now we’re hurting, now we’re hurting
Made in heaven
Now were hurting
4. Long Time Coming
I’ve been too long in this crazy world
To worry what people think
Listen to lies, wherefores and whys
They’re all gonna laugh when you sink
Gonna kiss of all my so called friends
Using me up ‘til I’m dry
They are the one firing the guns
Their need is greater than mine
Breaking the chain
Been a long time coming
Staking my claim
Been a long time coming
Don’t want no manacled ankles
Don’t want no cuffs on my wrists
Don’t need no more – I know the score
I need to be me to exist
Breaking the chain
Been a long time coming
Ringing the change
Such a long time
Such a long time
Such a long time
Such a long time
Such a long time
Such a long, long time
Breaking the chain
Been a long time coming
Staking my claim
Been a long time coming
Such a long time
Such a long time
Such a long, long time
5. Home from the Storm
One day I’ll write the story
One day I’ll tell the truth
The Power and the Glory
The good times and the blues
One day when I get older
When all is memories
When life is getting colder
And all that’s left is dreams
Outside the rain is falling
And inside the will has gone
And I can hear you calling
Calling me home
Home from the storm
It’s a story to make you wonder
Each turning of the page
Of a music that was thunder
In another age
Outside the rain is falling
And inside the will has gone
And I can hear you calling
Calling me home
Home from the storm
Outside the rain is falling
And inside the will has gone
And I can hear you calling
Calling me home
Home from the storm
Outside the rain is falling
And inside the will has gone
And I can hear you calling
Calling me home
Home from the storm
6. Fat Man
They say that inside every thin man
A fat man’s trying to break free
And now you gotta keep him in, man
Or you’ll get treated like a freak
But it ain’t none of their damn business
After all, what do they know?
Life’s for taking to the limits
I’ll go the way I wanna go
Cos it’s the
Fat man in me
Born to be me
Fat man in me
Big mean heavy
So heed my warning and keep out of my way
I’m getting even and it starts today
My radio and television
Say that you’re better if you’re thin
But in the end, it’s my decision
I’d really hate it if I looked like them
Cos it’s the
Fat man in me
Born to be me
Fat man in me
Big mean heavy
So heed my warning and keep out of my way
I’m getting even and it starts today
What you looking at?
Cos it’s the
Fat man in me
Born to be me
Fat man in me
Big mean heavy
Fat man in me
Born to be me
Fat man in me
Big mean heavy
Fat man in me
Born to be me
Fat man in me
Big mean heavy
7. 30 Pieces of Silver
What have they done to you
Sold you out for gain
Abused the trust
They even stole your name
Never counting cost
In the betrayal
You must be turning in your grave
Bright shooting star
Flying so high
Like diamonds in the sky
Still in our hearts
Forever shine
Bright shooting star
Like diamonds in the sky
Well you gave so much
And they took it all
And now you’re gone
Thy’re stealing more
Without a care
They make us pay
You must be turning in your grave
Bright shooting star
Flying so high
Like diamonds in the sky
Still in our hearts
Forever shine
Bright shooting star
Like diamonds in the sky
Still in our hearts
Forever shine
Bright shooting star
Like diamonds in the sky
Thirty pieces of silver
You’re worse than Judas of old
You can’t wipe the blood from your fingers
Staining so deep, down to your soul
Bright shooting star
Flying so high
Like diamonds in the sky
Still in our hearts
Forever shine
Bright shooting star
Like diamonds in the sky
Bright shooting star
Flying so high
Like diamonds in the sky
Still in our hearts
Forever shine
Bright shooting star
Like diamonds in the sky
8. Bet you Wish
Never done nothing, ain’t never been nowhere
Ain’t never seen a goddamn thing
Guitar hero, El Sincero
So convinced the phone will ring
Man of the moment – like Little Boy Blue
He’s gonna beat rock and roll
Should be apparent that a man of his talent
That everything will turn to gold
Every day taking me for a fool
On the stage, struts his stuff, he’s so cool
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...
Moral accuser, he says everyone’s a loser
That the means justify the end
Sweet mother lover, underneath the covers
With the wife of a real close friend
Ain’t got a worry, he ain’t got a care
Cos failing would be too absurd
Coming on strong, with someone else’s song
While mama sites and writes the words
You know
Every day taking me for a fool
On the stage, he’s the kin, Old King Cool
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
This man is a legend in his own mind
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish that you could be...
I bet you wish that you could be...be...be
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
9. Bad Times
I’ve been walking in the rain
Trying to work out where I am
A thousand reasons in my mind
Why I should walk away this time
Is it down to me, down to you
Who’ll be the first to make a move
You’ve been talking in your sleep
All your secrets are revealed
Playing your games with my mind
Turning the screw with your crying
When all along you were trying
To turn this love in to a lie
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
And a few old memories
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
That’s the way it has to be
Playing your games with my mind
Turning the screw with your crying
When all along you were trying
To turn this love in to a lie
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
And a few old memories
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
That’s the way it has to be
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
And a few old memories
Ain’t nothing there
Ain’t nothing there but the bad times
That’s the way it has to be
For you and me
I’ve been walking in the rain
You’ve been talking in your sleep
