Not Hollywood

I've got a picture in my head, in my head
it's me and you, we are in bed, we are in bed
you've always been there when i called,
you'll always be there most of all, all, all

Chorus:

This is not hollywood like, i understood,
is not hollywood like, like, like
this is not hollywood like, i understood,
is not hollywood like, like, like
run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Get away, get away, get away...
Get away, get away, get away...
Oh...woh...oh...woh

I've got a picture in my room, in my room
i will return there i presume, it should be soon
the greatest irony of all, shoot the wall,
it's not so glamorous at all, all, all, all

Repeat chorus:

Salvation

To all those people doin' lines, don't do it, don't do it
inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free
to all the kids with heroine eyes, don't do it, don't do it
because it's not what it seems, not it's not what it seems

Chorus:

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
salvation, salvation, salvation is free

To all the parents with sleepness nights, sleepness nights
tie your kids onto their beds, clean their heads!!!
To all the kids with heroine eyes, don't do it, don't do it
no, no, it's not, not what it seems
no, no, it's not, not what it seems

Repeat chorus:

When you're gone

Hold on to love, that is what i do,
now that i've found you
and from above, everything's stinking
they're not around you
and in the night, icould be helpless
i could be lonely, sleeping without you
and in the day, everything's complex,
there's nothing simple, when i'm not around you

Chorus

But, i miss you when you're gone,
that is what i do....bay, bay, bay
and it's going to carry on,
that is what i knew... Bay, bay, bay

Hold on to my hands, i feel i'm sinking,
sinking without you
and to my mind, everything's stinking,
stinking without you
and in the night, i could be helpless
i could be lonely, sleeping without you,
and in the day, everything's complex,
there's nothing simple, when i'm not around you

Chorus

Free to decide

It's not worth anything more than this at all,
i'll live as i choose or i will not live at all,
so return to where you come from,
return to where you dwell,
because harrassment's not my forte,
but you do it very well

Chorus:

I'm free to decide, i'm free to decide
and i'm not so suicidal after all,
i'm free to decide, i'm free to decide
and i'm not so suicidal after all,
at all, at all, at all

You must have nothing more with your time to do,
there's a war in russia and sarajevo too,
so to hell with what you're thinking,
and to hell with your narrow mind,
you're so distracted from the real thing,
you should leave your life behind

Repeat chorus:

Warchild

Who will save the war child baby? Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid, fine by me.
At times fo war, we're all the losers, there's no victory,
we'll shoot to kill and kill your lover, fine by me.

Chorus:

War child, victim of political pride,
plant the seed, territorial greed,
mind the war child, we should mind the war child.

I spent last winter in new york, and came upon a man,
he was sleeping on the streets and homeless, he said "i fought in vietnam".
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the mark with pride,
a two inch deep incision carved, into his side.

(repeat chorus:) who's the loser now, eh?
Who's the loser now, eh?
We're all losers now,
we're all losers now.

Forever yellow skies

Yellow skies, i can see you in the yellow skies,
see you again, i'll see you again,
in my dreams, in my dreams,
in my dreams, in my dreams

Morning light, i remember morning light,
outside my door, i'll see you no more,
in my dreams, in my dreams
in my dreams, in my dreams

Chorus:

Forever, forever, i'll be, forever holding you
forever, forever, i'll be, forever holding you
responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible

Black and white, it's become so black and white
so insecure, you're so insecure,
that's what you are, that's what you are,
that's what you are, that's what you are,

Repeat chorus

The rebels

Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen,
we were the rebels of the rebel scene,
we wore doc martens in the sun,
drinking vintage cider, having fun,
we were, drinking vintaage cider, having fun

Chorus

It wasn't often that we'd fight at all,
it wasn't often...

We wore doc martens in the snow
paint our toe nails black and let our hair grow
what i am now is, what i was then
i am not more acceptable than them
i am not more acceptable than them

Chorus

Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen
we were rebles of the rebel scene

I just shot John Lennon

It was a fearful night of december 8th,
he was returning home from the studio, late
he had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
because in 1980 he paid the price

Chorus:

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died

With a smith & wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate,
he should have stayed at homd,
he should have never cared,
and the man who took his life declared,
he said...

Chorus:

"i just shot John Lennon", he said, "i just shot John Lennon"
what a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
what a sad and sorry and sickening night,
what a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
what a sad and sorry and sickening night,

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

Electric blue

Electric blue eyes, where did you come from?
Electric blue eyes, who sent you?
Electric blue eyes, always be near me,
electric blue eyes, i need you.
(na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh)

Chorus:

Domine, domine, deus,
domine, adiuva me,
domine, domine, deus
domine, adiu, adiuma me
hey, eh, hey, eh

If you should go, you should know...i love you
if you should go, you should know... I'm here
always be near me, guardian angel,
always be near me, there's no fear
(na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh)

Repeat chorus:

I'm still remembering

I'm still remembering the day i gave my life away,
i'm still remembering the time you said you'd be mine
yesterday was cold and bare because you were not there,
yesterday was cold, my story has been told.

Chorus:

I need your affection all the way,
the world has changed or i've changed in a way,
i try to remain, i'm trying to go insane,
i need your affection all the way, (get away)

I'm still remembering my life before i became your wife
i'm still remembering the pain and the mind games,
reverse psychology never tainted me,
i didn't sell my soul, i didn't sell my soul.

(repeat chorus:)

They say the cream will always rise to the top
they say that good people are always the first to drop
what of kurt cobain, will his presence still remain,
remember j.f.k., ever saintly in a way.
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Where are you now?, Say, where are you now?

(repeat chorus:)

Will you remember?

Will you remember the dress i wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick i wore?
This world is a wonderful place.

Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember chanpagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again.

Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there.

I won't remember the dress i wore,
i won't remember champagne,
i won't remember the things that we swore,
i will just love you in vain.

Will you remember? Will you recall?

Joe

There was time, i was so lonely (away)
remember the time, it was on friday (away)
you made me feel fine, we did it my way (away)
i sat on your knees, every friday (away)

Chorus:

We walked in fields of golden hay, i still recall you
we walked in fields of golden hay, i see you in the summer,
joe, joe...

You sat on your chair, by the fire (away)
transfixed in a stare, taking me higher (away)
precious years, to remember (away)
childhood fears, i surrender (away)

Repeat chorus:

Bosnia

I would like to state my vision, life was so unfair
we live in our secure surroundings,
and people die out there.

Bosnia was so unkind, sarajevo changed my mind
and we all call out in despair, all the love we need isn't there
and we all sing songs in our room, sarajevo erects another tomb

Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
bosnia was so unkind.
Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo
bosnia was so unkind.

Sure things would change if we wanted them to,
no fear for children anymore,
there are babies in their beds, terror in their heads
love for the love of life!

When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?

Rummmpatitum, rummmpatitum...

Traboo, traboo, traboo...

Cordell (japanese import only)

Though once you ruled my mind,
i thought you'd always be there,
and i'll always hold onto your face,
but everything changes in time and
the answers are not always fair,
and i hope you've gone to a better place

Chorus:

Cordell, time will tell,
they say that you've passed away
and i know that you've gone to a better place
cordell, cordell, cordell...

Your lover and baby will cry,
but your presence will always remain,
is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me,
than what many people will see
and to hell with the industry.

Chorus

The picture i view (japanese import only)

I haven't changed, but my life has
people are strange when it's like as,
i did something wrong to them
and i don't even know your name...

I swear that he's good for me,
and i swear he looks after me,
and i swear that he looks out for me...
And i swear that he's good

Chorus

La, la, la, the picture i view
la, la, la, the picture i view

All my (friends) and promises
went tumbling down the hill
all my friends and promises
went tumbling down the hill,
they went tumbling down the hill

I haven't changed, but my life has
people are strange when it's like as
i did something wrong to them,
and i don't even know your name
