I've Been Expecting You lyrics

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him

Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge

And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong

Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged

I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside

We've got stars directing our faith
and we're praying it's not too late
Millennium

Some say that we are players
some say that we are pawns
but we've been making money since the day that we were born
Got to slow down,
cause we'll low down.

Run around in circles
live a life of solitude
'till we find ourselves a partner someone to relate to
Then we slow down,
before we fall down.

Silence shields the pain
So you say nothing
Feel they've rigged the game
And you're done with lovin'
Only you can see the darkness in the northern lights

Phoenix from the Flames
We will rise together
They will know our names
Can you feel it
Shelter me from pain
I always wanna feel this way
Oh yeah
Just like a Phoenix from the Flame

Wish they'd take you back
Cos you miss heaven

We didn't think it'd last beyond summer
I met her father she met my mother
We didn't have anywhere else to go
She said to me when we grow older
Will we still need young love on
Our shoulders
Does it just fade away
Will we ever know

She touched my face and called me
Her lover
I never thought that I'd need another

Your cool suburban sun
You're foolin' every one
You win some you lose some

Sometimes I feel like I am
Sailing on a sunken dream
I try to read the signs
But I don't know what they mean
I know when I'm with you
I'm a rich man baby

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn
I have got so much to give you

My heart is starved of love
In these radio days
I try to listen hard
To what my conscience says
I know I've sold my soul
I'm going to earn it back now

Ooh we've got a live one, featherweight icon
Heroes let 'im down so he sleeps with the
Light on
And there's nothin' left to do but kneel down
And pray
Sail away with Caesar if you're a non believer
Everybody get high if you're a
Diamond geezer
It's the devil that needs ya so go out and play

Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her you trouble her

Know no fear I'll still be here tomorrow
Bend my ear I'm not gonna go away
You are love so why do you shed a tear
Know no fear you will see heaven from here

I'll shelter you make it alright to cry
And you'll help too cos the faith in myself
Has run dry
We are love and I just wanna hold you near
Know no fear we will see heaven from here

I see real love in your eyes

(talking: You've been naughty...very very naughty)
Are you cut up
Or do you easily forget
Are you still around
Why haven't you managed to die yet
You could prop up the bar in hell

How do you sleep
You've never loved
Why was I never good enough
You thought you'd leave me falling forever
Karma killer

Needless to say
I guess you know I hate you
You're so full of sin
Even the devil rates you

She's the One

I was her she was me
We were one we were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

We were young we were wrong
We were fine all along
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say

Sitting in the cheap seats underneath
The stars
I'm heading back to base, I'll drop you off
At Mars
I'm sure I know your face or what star
You're from
I try to make conversation but I'm too
Far gone

I'm a man machine
Drinking gasoline
Super human being
Shooting laser beams

How you gonna leave, when your bags
Ain't packed
And how you gonna shoot, when we're
Back to back

She lies on the bed
With her hands in her head
And she screams
He gets a kick out of losing the plot so it seems
He makes you all laugh so she's the one
Doing harm
But how can you fight when she's not
The one under his arm

These dreams have let you down
Take it don't break it just turn it around
These dreams won't let you down

You never stopped loving his misfortunate
Lazy ways

And they want us to grow up
But we don't want to get a job
We all need a decent rock
Where it's all kicking off

Baby it's all right
Baby it's all right
You don't need to cause a fuss
Baby it's all right
Baby it's all right
It's only us

We're just after cheaper thrills
Since the price went up on pills
From Stoke On Trent to Beverley Hills
You know it's all kicking off

Baby it's all right

I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear when you shout
'Cos I understand you see

I was concerned when you said
You'd rather wake up dead
Than spend a day with me
I know that's not you
I know and it's true
They don't understand you like I do

I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts

Stand your ground
You're big enough
Stand your ground
You know too much
Today drifts into tomorrow
And you can almost taste the sorrow

Stand your ground
You've had enough
Lost and found
Diamond in the rough
Today drifts into tomorrow
You feel your soul's been borrowed
Ooh ooh...

Stand your ground
The water's deep
Feel the sand beneath your feet
I know your prayers seem hollow

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips with what you said
No it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead
Day after day

Why don't we talk about it
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way
It doesn't make me wanna stay

Why don't we break up
There's nothing left to say
I got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
Oh we're not sexed up

I know I stand in line

until you think you have the time

to spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance

you won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

and have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

by saying something stupid

like :"I love you"

I can see it in your eyes

Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday
Theres nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun
But it wonÂt shine until itâs sung

No water running in the stream
The saddest place weÂve ever been

Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to mandalay
Every mistake iÂve ever made

Me no bubbletious

Me smoke heavy tar

Me be groovin' slowly where you are

Notify your next of kin

'Cause you're never coming back

I've been dropping beats since Back in Black

And we'll paint by numbers

'Til something sticks

Don't mind doing it for the kids

(So come on) jump on board

Take a ride (yeah)

(You'll be doin' it all right)

Jump on board feel the high

Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived

Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive

Hello Sir, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be
The boy who you reduced to tears
Lad called 'thingy' for six whole years.

Yes, that's right, my name's Bob
The one who landed the pop star's job
The one you told, look don't touch
The kid who wouldn't amount to much.

Well, I'm here and you're still there
With a fake sports car and receding hair.

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor

One eye on the shadows protecting his fellows
From sun up to the moon on his back
Sent the villains to Hades
A hit with the ladies
A stallion in the sack
You canât get your life back
When right follows left Jack
The more you see the less you know
When others would leak it
His service is secret
Plays God when itâs your time to go

Queen and country safe and sound

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to
The bridge

And you know and you know
Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong

I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear when you shout
Cos I understand you see
I was concerned when you said
You'd rather wake up dead
Than spend a day with me
I know that's not you
I know and it's true
They don't understand you like I do

I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts

Stand your ground
You're big enough
Stand your ground
You know too much
Today drifts into tomorrow
And you can almost taste the sorrow
Stand your ground
You've had enough
Lost and found
Diamond in the rough
Today drifts into tomorrow
You feel your soul's been borrowed
Oooh, oooh...
Stand your ground
The water's deep
Feel the sand beneath your feet
I know your prayers seem hollow
