Start at the beginning Where losing and winning wasn’t even a feeling Late night in the afterglow Caught between in a make believe that always leaves you cold Tired of, tired of waiting For that destiny that’s been so long in the making Asking, how soon is now? Time moves in a way that you’ve always wondered how You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me Well who, who’s that stranger Staring at you in the glass in the top of the table? Is he able to finish what you start? Is he willing to give everything for art? You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me You know you gotta tell me

Well baby, I seen you a round Won’t you please let me follow you down? She said ‘Honey’, staring at the floor ‘Well, I’m just paid to be here and nothing more’ Are you moving with the times? Getting close to the line The water’s rising, you keep apologising Riding high up above the ground You know it feels a long way down, for you You too, you too Well baby, don’t I know your name? Well either way I’d like to know it all the same She said ‘honey, oh I’m not sure…’ And ‘I don’t believe I’ve seen your face before’ But I seen you around, like a stranger in the night It was either you or a lookalike Are you moving with the times? Getting close to the line The water’s rising, you keep apologising Riding high up above the ground You know it feels a long way down, for you You too, you too In the grey of the twighlight And the haze of the moonlight And the heat that comes down ‘round midnight The great and good Never act as they should And they just say that you would if you could The water’s rising, riding high up above the ground You know it feels a long way down, for you You too, you too You too, you too

How many times have I heard it said? That you been living in your heard I don’t know (I don’t know) It’s hard to show (I don’t know) The walls are closing in on me It’s getting so that I can hardly see But I don’t know (I don’t know) It’s hard to show (I don’t know) (Hey, hey, hey…) Oh won’t you tell me what to (Say, say, say…) I’ll tell you anything you like (Hey, hey, hey…) I’ll you every night (Say, say, say…) In conversation The words a tripping on my tongue I am tasting each and every one But I don’t know (I don’t know) It’s hard to show (I don’t know) Day by day, night by night I come to thinking that this ain’t right But I don’t know (I don’t know) Said I don’t know (I don’t know) Ooo there’s a light, there’s a sound There’s a feeling that’s a’comin’ round What’d going down, down, down I don’t know (I don’t know, woah) (Hey, hey, hey…) Oh won’t you tell me what to (Say, say, say…) I’ll tell you anything you like (Hey, hey, hey…) I’ll you every night (Say, say, say…) oh won’t you ease my mind Ooo tell me (Hey, hey, hey…) Why don’t you tell me what to Oooo find a way (Say, say, say…) I’ll tell you anything you like Ooo tell me (Hey, hey, hey…) I’ll you every night (Say, say, say…) In conversation

Say The Word 03:49
It’s never been the same Ever since they change the game But it’s all coming down the same old way I caught it in a dream Or somewhere in between The depths of my mind or there on the screen Something greater than sooner or later, just right on time Well you got nothing left if there’s nothing to be left behind Go on and cry revolution, just say the word Would you say it again if its all you heard? I’m trying to count the ways Since the moments turned to days And the world’s going round again and again I’ve been trying to hold the line It gets easier in time to turn the tide And soon we’ll find Something greater than sooner or later, just right on time Well you got nothing left if there’s nothing to be left behind Go on and cry revolution, just say the word Would you say it again if it’s all you heard? Do it right, or right on time Out of sight, out of mind Oh just cry revolution, just say the word Oh and say it again till it’s all they’ve heard

I don’t need no doctor, cos I know what’s ailing me I don’t need no doctor, cos I know what’s ailing me I been too long away from my baby I’m coming down with a misery I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor, to get my prescription filled I don’t need no doctor, to get my prescription filled Only my baby’s arms could ever take away this chill I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor Well the doctor said I need rest When all I need is her tenderness He put me on the critical list When all I need is her sweet kiss He gave me a medicated lotion But it didn’t sooth my emotion I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor, for my will to live is gone I don’t need no doctor, for my will to live is gone All I need is my baby, baby please won’t you come on home? I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor I don’t need no doctor

Holding out for something better Waiting time after time Each time I’m wondering what is mine Got the part right down to the letter going Line after line Well I lose myself again and again But you know that I’m trying Hold me down yeah Are you looking for something else Make it easy Don’t leave me waiting on the shelf I wanna know… Trying to find a way to say I don’t want your favours Trying to find a way to say ‘I’m fine’ Got the part right down to the letter going Line after line I'll tell you once and I’ll tell you twice And you know I ain’t lying Hold me down yeah Are you looking for something else Make it easy Don’t leave me waiting on the shelf I wanna know… Hold me down yeah Are you looking for something else Make it easy Don’t leave me waiting on the shelf I wanna know… Hold me down yeah Are you looking for something else Make it easy Don’t leave me waiting on the shelf I wanna know…

True Story 04:26
Finding that you’re just surviving Looking for a way or a hiding place Hiding from what it was you were finding You remember a place and the colour and the shape Did you find your fame and fortune? Did you find your piece of mind? Fallow streets that you left Winding the time on the clock and deciding To fight another day or to take a break You’re late arriving but in time to see things subsiding You know it’s just a game playing day by day Did you find a mixed emotion? Did you find it just in time? Out of sight means out of mind Gotta find all the ties you believed in Gotta find all the ties your believed in Closer, you’re just burning light waiting for the night The waiting around is holding you down When you go where the lights are low and the feeling’s moving slow And the time will tell you, tell you loud and clear I been trying, yeah I’m trying to get a little conversation Tell me what’s your motivation? Tell me why you’re here And did you, did you find your fame and fortune? Did you find, did you find your piece of mind? Who finds truth so hard to find?

To be alone with you, just you and me Why don’t you tell me true, ain’t that the way it ought to be? To hold each other tight, the whole night through Everything is all right when I’m alone with you To be alone with you at the close of the day With only you in view as evening slips away It only goes to show, with life’s pleasures few The only one I know is to be alone with you Well the nighttime is the right time To be with the one you love There’s too many thoughts in the way in the day But you’re the one I’m thinking of. I wish that you were here, showing me your charms Just lying here in each others arms I always thank the lord, when my day is through I get my sweet reward, when I’m alone with you Well the nighttime is the right time To be with the one you love There’s too many thoughts in the way in the day But you’re the one I’m thinking of. To be alone with you, just you and me Why don’t you tell me true, ain’t that the way it ought to be? To hold each other tight, the whole night through Everything is all right when I’m alone with you Everything is all right when I’m alone with you Everything is all right, babe, when I’m alone with you
9.
The only thing missing is your heart But we know it’s just a start Of the things on your mind you want to say But it’s your heart and soul that slowly drift away You gotta tell me You gotta tell me You gotta tell me Oh tell me Well, do you want in or do you want out? Just let me know and I’ll tell you The only thing missing is your part In the game you have to start About me with every line you have to say But it’s your heart and soul that slowly drift away You gotta tell me You gotta tell me You gotta tell me Oh tell me Well, do you want in or do you want out? Just let me know and I’ll tell you That what you want is not what you can have And you don’t want to hear it Well you must let me know before it is just too late Well you must let it show before you can contemplate Well you must let me know now before it is just too late Well you must let it show before you can contemplate You gotta tell me before it’s too late
