SOMEONE ELSE NOT ME
now while the beat is slow here in your arms I sway now that the light is low something I want to say I guess you've known it for a while but I mean trouble I only want to see you smile and I burst this bubble the hardest thing is to let go when love is real like a flower loves a bee but I know you're meant to give yourself to someone else, not me and I could carry on with you does that sound crazy? I think you feel the same way too and you can't face it, the hardest thing is to let go but it's not defeat when you set somebody free and you know you're meant to be yourself with someone else, not me can you let go? ‘cause that's love that's real like a flower loves a bee and you know you're meant to give yourself to someone else, not me somebody else, not me somebody else, not me meant for somebody else, not me somebody else, not me meant for somebody else not me

STARTING TO REMEMBER
how to begin? do I shed a skin now that I am starting to remember it takes a while but you find a way to open up the door let demons walk now that I am starting to remember can’t change my world I was happy every after was it only yesterday that I bought the dream? but I don’t sleep no more counting the hours till the dawn now that I am starting to remember how to love, how to learn draw like a child run for miles and miles now that I am starting to remember who I am another lonely night ahead for me now buried in the darkening day that lingers on and drags me down but you’ve got to believe time will heal

I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene we'll all be famous for 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream I'll wait in the wings for you I'll read your lines to you but now the script is final you know it's time to go so we'll have to say goodbye I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene we'll all be famous for those 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream we star in every scene and it's never quite what it seems never... I'm living in a pop trash movie I know we'll make it with that pop trash oh yeah... we'll all be famous for 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream

LAST DAY ON EARTH
mesmerised you get sucked in by the hype headlights in your eyes flame burns fast then your soul goes up in smoke where's your faith in life now what would you do, if there was no tomorrow? now where would you go, if you knew this was you last day on earth? having the time of your life but you don't realise play to win so you got to roll the dice it's a vicious game one false move that's how fortunes change and you're going down now what would you do, if there was no tomorrow? now where would you go, if you knew this was you last day on earth? this is the time of your life you don't realise now what would you do, if you knew this was your last day on earth? I'd kiss you goodbye last chance living taking giving having losing needing loving your last day on earth waking standing hoping dreaming smiling laughing feeling crying your last day on earth wanting something touching living your last day on earth
