They put up signs to keep the undesirables out If you tick these boxes they won't let you in Your money is not good enough so go somewhere else Your money is not good enough In this day and age they must know what they do is wrong But nothing ever changes cos no one says anything Nobody says take those signs down you are breaking the law take those signs down I wait for the day when they take the signs down Yeah I'll wait for the day they admit that they were wrong Oh I wait for the day when they take the signs down Yeah I'll wait for the day they admit that they were wrong Who gets to decide what's a normal family And Who gets to decide what will become of me It doesn't seem right to me People judge me like a book A book with a dirty cover might be embroidered by words of such beauty that they would change your life but If you never look the past the cover you'll never see inside I'll wait for the day when they take the signs down Yeah I'll wait for the day they admit that they were wrong Oh I wait for the day when they take the signs down I wait for the day when they admit that they were wrong Oh I'll wait for the day when they admit that they were wrong Yeah I'll wait for the day when they admit that they were wrong

you say you love me but why did it take you so long to miss me A whole month later before you called and so the story goes I took the blame on my shoulders but you were too angry to feel love too angry to love No you don't know know know know No you don't know know know know No you don't know know Know how to love No you don't know know know know No you don't know know know know No you don't know know know how to love To look through your eyes would be so scary I don't think it is love it is obsession You just need to own me Quit telling me all those lies, you're tripping on your own words Stop saying you love me and I'm the only one if you don't mean it Cos you don't know know know know cos you don't know know know know Cos you don't know know know how to love cos you don't know know know know no you don't know know know know no you don't know know know how to love No you don't know how to love no you don't know how to love oh no you don't know, no you don't know how to cos you don't know know know know cos you don't know know know know cos you don't know know know know cos you don't know know know how to love

Your mother thinks the world revolves round her Your mother thinks a model would be more suited to your acquired tastes She reckons I'm too short to be with you Your mother doesn't understand the mechanics of what we do when the lights off the lights are off... oh Your mother doesn't like you hanging with riff raff like me She thinks you should be with Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone or maybe Jodie Foster maybe Jodie Foster.. *chorus she thinks I'm not good enough for you she thinks I'm not good enough for you Simply just not good enough, simply just not good enough she thinks I'm not good enough for you Your sister thinks your mother might be right Maybe you could go back to how you were before before you dated me when you just slothed about the house it was pretty handy for getting rides to places she likes you were always around when she wanted you around you never had a life before so why start now? *chorus Wait a minute you're actually very violent, and nasty, you're moody, and clingy, obsessive and vain I liked it when you left, there was no one been mean to then so why did you have to come back again? You thought I weren't good enough for you Yet you crawled back up my path seeking forgiveness and swearing I'm all you ever wanted and all you'll ever need *chorus (slightly different lyrics this time) I think you're not good enough for me I think you're not good enough for me Simply just not good enough, simply just good enough I think you're not good enough for me

Another winter on it's way the leaves start to fall and sway Another song about heartbreak to sing I wish you could understand what I'm trying to say It seems I've done all I could It appears to be I've done all I should but it is never enough for it is never enough for you oh it is never enough for you Why don't you feel the love I send? Why don't you feel the love I send? How could you be so cold? How could you be so cruel? Why don't you feel the love I send? It's a love that breaks all rules It's a love that most don't see An invisible force that binds two people deep in love but you keep doubting the way I feel It seems I've done all I could It appears to be I've done all I should but it is never enough for it is never enough for you it is never enough for you Why can't you feel the love I send? Why can't you feel the love I send? How could you be so cold? How could you be so cruel? Why don't you feel the love I send? Why don't you feel the love I send? Why don't you feel the love I send? How could you be so cold? How could you be so cruel? Why don't you feel the love I send? the love I send the love I send the love I send

In times of hardship you were always there comforting soldifying your presence was always felt In times when I cried myself to sleep it was always your shoulder I cried on Where would I be if it weren't for you? How would I have survived without you? For you've been my rock, my crack, and hope you've held me up when I began to fall In times of trouble my feet never touched the ground because you carried me in your arms In times of trouble I never felt any kind of pain because you were my remedy my morphine In times of trouble you've always been there for me And what could substitute for your love? I doubt there is any drug strong enough My base, my lover and bestfriend Your whole life took a backseat for mine In times of trouble my feet never touched the ground cos you carried me in your arms In times of trouble I never felt any kind of pain because you were my remedy my morphine In times of trouble you've always been there for me

It is forever winter when you are around bringing me down is all that you do you tell me a story but it's not the truth it never is with you I'm trying to find a place that warmer your heart is so cold You leave me alone, alone up to my ancles in the snow I'm standing on the outside of the darkside of the wall the wall that you built to keep me out in the cold You never really let me know you I'm always standing on the outside It's forever winter It's forever winter It's forever winter loving you It's forever winter when I look you into eyes They are bright, they are mystical and blue but they never answer any of my questions they just lead me astray they lead me to emptiness Oh they lead, nowhere You never really let me know you I'm always standing on the outside It's forever winter It's forever winter It's forever winter loving you It's forever winter Oh It's forever winter loving you

As the sea crash against in the rocks I focus in my thoughts dreaming of my love the love i have lost imaginging I've got you in my arms swearing I'll never let you go when I open my eyes I awake to see you in somebody else's arms I don't ever want to feel that way again I don't ever want to fall in love I don't ever want to feel that hurt I don't ever want to feel that way again For my love was nothing but true and my heart was posessed by you but you tore my soul apart so I drowned my sorrow in the deep blue sea I don't ever want to feel that way again I don't ever want to fall in love I don't ever want to feel that hurt I don't ever want to feel that way again As the sea crash against the rocks I feel it whisper my name telling me what I already knew I'm never gonna feel that way again

She gently meditates her life through She knows he'll never treat like he should She just smiles at the bruises and laughs through her tears All her children have grown up but her oldest son remains he stays at home to keep her company and protect her every now and again She is a gentle goddess She is a gentle goddess She is a gentle goddess Smiling through her tears It's funny how her smile is still there Never shows her sorrow in her face crazy how if she had her life to relive she would still do it all again so sincere you cannot critise for all her love couldn't change the world but it's never stopped her trying oh no it never stopped her trying She is a gentle goddess She is a gentle goddess She is a gentle goddess Smiling through her pain Smiling through her pain

Illuminate 03:33
I didn't believe in love at first sight until the day I set eyes on you I could call it from the tallest the mountain how much I love you but still the news wouldn't reach you I could paint it across the sky in colours so bold and bright it would forever illuminate the sky at night but you would never notice, you would never see the message from me, the message from me I can't make you love me I can't make you stay I can't make you love me No I can't make you stay I could quote every line ever written of love and make some more up but it wouldn't be enough I could sing a thousand love songs in every different key yet not one would strike a chord with your heart and make you see I could paint it across the sky in colours so bold and bright it would forever illuminate the sky at night but you would never notice you would never see the message from me I could paint it across the sky in colours so bold and bright it would forever illuminate the sky at night but you would never notice, you would never see the message from me I could paint it across the sky in colours so bold and bright it would forever illuminate the sky at night but you would never notice you would never see the message illuminating love from me

A Long Road 02:29
It's been a long dusty road I would have been all alone if it weren't for you When turned round you were by my side ready to comfort me when I was crumbling down When I felt like hell you were holding me up You wouldn't let me fall to the gound You kept me strong and told me not to give up Believe I did you kept me going on Oh I would have been lost without you Oh so lost without you Thank-you for being a friend I really needed somebody back then Thank-you for being a friend you made a difference I appreciate it When everybody judged me by the gossip they heard you were busy listening to music and dancing with me It meant a lot to have somebody who cared cos nobody else seemed to care about me Oh I would have been lost without you Oh so lost without you Thank-you for being a friend I really needed somebody back then Thank-you for being a friend you really made a difference I appreciate it
