Everything is better now Better than is was before Sunshine on a golden bough Darkness locked behind closed door Now I found a better place Somewhere I can lay my head Clean fresh air and open space Safe upon my feather bed
I've been a mistake maker For all of my days And a law breaker But crime never pays An overtaker On lifes highways A serial faker Making getaways
I've been a mover and a groover In the halls of power A real bad loser In my darkest hour A high seas cruiser Searching tropical flowers A pick and chooser In an ivory tower
Now I'm a man of peace With a hungry soul For I found release In a lost loophole I'm the materpiece Who just scored the goal Let the love increase Now I'm in control
YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD
ALL THE PROMISES WE MADE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME A HIGHWAY WITH NO ONE ON IT TREASURE JUST TO LOOK UPON IT ALL THE RICHES IN THE NIGHT YOU SAY YOU´LL GIVE ME EYES ON A MOON OF BLINDNESS A RIVER IN A TIME OF DRYNESS A HARBOUR IN THE TEMPEST
ALL THE PROMISES WE MAKE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
YOU SAY YOU WANT YOUR LOVE TO WORK OUT RIGHT TO LAST WITH ME THROUGH THE NIGHT YOU SAY YOU WANT A DIAMOND ON A RING OF GOLD YOUR STORY TO REMAIN UNTOLD YOUR LOVE NOT TO GROW COLD
ALL THE PROMISES WE BREAK FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE WHEN ALL I WANT IS YOU
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground But there's no room, no space to rent in this town You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care, The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere, You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls And you feel like it's a beautiful day It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
You're on the road but you've got no destination You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination You love this town even if it doesn't ring true You've been all over and it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out It was a beautiful day A beautiful day Don't let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now You don't need it now, you don't need it now Beautiful day
Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book But the truth is not the same Without the lies he made up. Don't believe in excess Success is to give Don't believe in riches But you should see where I live. I, I believe in love.
Don't believe in forced entry Don't believe in rape But every time she passes by Wild thoughts escape. Don't believe in Death Row Skid row or the gangs. Don't believe in the Uzi It just went off in my hands. I, I believe in love.
Don't believe in cocaine Got a speedball in my head I could cut and crack you open Did you hear what I said? Don't believe them when they tell me There ain't no cure. The rich stay healthy The sick stay poor. I, I believe in love.
Don't believe in Goldman His type like a curse Instant karma's gonna get him If I don't get him first. Don't believe that Rock 'n' Roll Can really change the world As it spins in revolution Yeah, it spirals and turns. I, I believe in love.
Don't believe in the sixties The golden age of pop You glorify the past When the future dries up. Heard a singer on the radio Late last night Says he's gonna kick the darkness Till it bleeds daylight. I, I believe in love.
Feel like I'm fallin' I'm spinnin' on a wheel It always stops beside a name A presence I can feel. I believe in love. Stop!
She feels the ground is giving way But she thinks we're better off that way The more you take the less you feel The less you know the more you believe The more you have the more it takes today You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away)
She knows just what she's worth She's living like it's the last night on earth The last night on earth
She's not waiting on a saviour to come She's at the bus-stop with News of the World and the Sun Sun, here it comes She's not waiting for anyone You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away)
She don't care what it's worth But she's living like it's the last night on earth The last night on earth
Would you believe in something Slipping away Would you believe in someone
Slip slide Would you believe in something She lets me Would you believe in someone Slipping away The world turns Would you believe in something And we get dizzy Would you believe in someone Slipping away
She's living, living next week now You know she's going to pay it back somehow She hasn't been to bed in a week She'll be dead soon then she'll sleep
You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away) You got to give it away (You got to give it away)
She already knows it hurts She's living like it's the last night on earth The last night on earth Last night on earth Last night
