Lyrics:
I Still Do
I'm not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though I thought I could see
(chorus)
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
I still do
Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within
Can I go my own way
Can I pray my own way
I don't want to leave you
I need you
Am I ready for this
Did I think I would be
Can I see the future
No, I can't see
Dreams Noel: "'Dreams' was one of the early ones, as well. It's probably, I don't know, maybe about the fourth or fifth song. It's hard to remember, cause it's like five years ago, but it was one of the early songs. Again it was just a very simple tune that we came up with and it just kind of came together really quick."
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Sunday Dolores: "It was, uh, written on a Sunday."
Oh do you know
(Where to go, where to go)
Something on your mind
(Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind)
You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
(You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me)
When you walked into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
Does he really have to go
(You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me)
And he didn't find the words
To say I love you
And he couldn't find the time
To say I need you
(It wouldn't come out right, it wouldn't come out right)
Just came out all wrong
You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
(You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me)
Oh do you know
(Where to go, where to go)
Something on your mind
(Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind)
Pretty Dolores: "Sometimes it takes you a long time to realize that you have a lot of beauty in yourself. And I think at that stage I realized that I had beauty in myself, even though I wasn't like a supermodel or anything like that, but I think that every woman has beauty in herself, and sometimes they have problems seeing it in themselves. I think it was kinda written at that stage when I saw it in myself, and I saw it in other women that didn't see it in themselves. And it was kind of a song that states that every woman is pretty for what she has and what she is."
You're so pretty
The way you are
You're so pretty
The way you are
and you have no reason
to be so insolent to me
You're so pretty
The way you are
La, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
(repeat)
Waltzing back Noel: "At the time it was probably the heaviest song that we had done to that point, and it was kind of totally different from everything else that we had done, so we were all mad about it. I think it's probably the only song that we've done in every gig that we've ever done. We've played 'Waltzing Back' at every gig because it's just one that we really, really like."
Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into
(Your life, your life)
Now I feel fear
I wish that they'd never come (Here, here, here)
What they gonna do,what they gonna do
What they gonna say,what they gonna say
Taking you away from
(My life, my life)
Taking you away
(My life, my life)
La (chorus)
Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
(Light, light, light)
Then i felt fear
I wish that they'd never come (Here, here, here)
What they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away from
(My life, my life, my life)
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say
'Cos it's
(Your life, your life, your life)
Not Sorry Dolores: "I wrote that one after our first album was tossed over by the british press and stuff n the british press started to laugh at us and, uh, we had some major, major problems, and it ended up kind of affecting me personally."
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish,you don't see what you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No, I'm not sorry if I insult you
No, I'm not sorry if I insult you
(chorus)
You told me lies
(And I cried, and i cried, and i cried)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes i cried, yes i cried)
(I cry, I cry, I cry) again
I realize as
(He sighed and, he sighed and)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes I cried, yes )
(I try, I try, I try ) again
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish, you don't see you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No I'm not sorry if do detest you
No I'm not sorry if do detest you
(chorus)
Keep on looking through the window again
Keep on looking through the window again
Linger Mike: "It was our first song that we ever wrote together. The first time that we ever met Dolores, like, Noel had the chords to it and he had the song done, and he gave it to Dolores and within a week, like, we had the song wrote. So it was actually really good, that that was the song that actually made us, like, was really the first one, so that was cool."
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn,don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
(chorus)
But I m in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, but I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
Wanted
Sittin' in an armchair
With my head between my hands
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well, I'll try another way
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, I didn't understand
You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well, you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right form the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart
Still Can't...
Still can't recognize the way I feel
Nothing of what you said to me was real
And you still can't find the strength to apologize
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies
'Cos
(You wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all)
No, and
(There's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all)
Maybe if you could see beyond your nose
Nothing of what had happened surely shows
but your ego excelled and then your attitude
And you went on laughing and shoutin
It's all too shrewd
'Cos
(You wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all)
No, and
(There's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all)
I Will Always
And now it's all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
And go wherever you need to go
And when it all seems like a mistake
Take whatever you need to take
And leave the rest for my own sake
I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand
And now, it's all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
And go wherever you need to go
And when there's nothing left behind
Taken whatever you needed to
And leave it all into my mind
I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand
How
Look, you're standing alone
(Standing alone)
However I should have known
(I should have known)
Never before, never before
Never again, never again
You will ignore, you will ignore
I will pretend, I will pretend
In your world,
You're alone in your face
Your alone in your world
Your alone in your face
How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
Now you're just walking away
(Walking away)
When you said you always would stay
Always would stay
Never before, never before
Never again, never again
You will ignore, you will ignore
I will pretend, I will pretend
In your world,
You're alone in your face
Your alone in your world
Your alone in your face
Put me Down Dolores: "There was one particular dark shadow in my life trying to put me down."
Let me take you
By the hand
Away from here
To another land
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
'Cos you're always putting me down
I can't take this anymore
I decided to leave
Walked throught the door
Oh, and why do you think I go
Because you know it can never be so
And you always prove me wrong
'Cos you're always putting me down
La, la, la...
Reason
Nothing to say,
Nothing to do,
Nowhere to go,
And I can't get over it and be with you
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what you want
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cos if you weren't somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's bed
If you were...
The look on your face
You'd told us to come here
A reason to be
Escaping from reality
I'll fight you in fear, indefinitely
A reason to be
Escaping from reality
'Cos if you were somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
And I can't get over it and be with you
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what you want
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cos if you were somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's bed
If you were...
Don't listen to what they say
Make up your mind, walk away
Oh don't even give them the time of day
They put you wrong, turn away
So why'd they all just walk away
There was something wrong
But you don't want to say
Oh why did they listen to someone else
I did something wrong
Something
Oh that attitude
They all got that attitude
Something they say
Make up your mind, walk away
Oh oh never happen again
They've all gone wrong, gone insane
That's why they all just walked away
There was nothing wrong
Didn't want to say
Oh that's why they listened to somebody else
I did nothing wrong
Nothing I could say
That's why, that's why
That's why, that's why
Now it's easy for to see,
Why people in life are so lonely
And you never understood,
You never really could,
You were wrong.
What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.
'Cos you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And I'm lonely.
Yeah, you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.
'Cos you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.
What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.
It took something hard like this,
Mistaken to resist,
And I'm lonely.
Liar
Say it if you want to
And say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinking
No, I won't take too kindly to it.
When all I want is something special
And you can't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
'Cos you're a liar liar liar
I will run I will fight
I will take you through the night
I will run I will fight
I will take you through the night
Say it if you want to
And say it if you choose
Because if you don't say what you are thinking
No, I won't take too kindly to it.
When all I want is something different
And you couldn't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar liar liar
I will run I will fight
I will take you through the night
I will run I will fight
I will take you through the night
I will fight you
I will fight you
I'm fighting you
You know
You're a liar liar liar
Liar
