Nobody told you that they'd take your heart away
Nobody told you that they'd break it anyway
You wouldn't listen, you had to find out why
She took your soul away and left you there to cry

Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go.
You're better off as a one man show.

Nobody told you that you'd lay awake all night
Nobody told you that everything was right
You thought that love was such an easy little game
Throw the dice and count your squares -
then try and pass the blame.

Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go.
You're better off as a one man show.

There she stands, with her hands of God,
To convert a man, with the words of love.

She can call you with the movement of her eyes
She can throw you back from where you came
With a single God damn lie
You can call it love, but I'd like to see you try
To ask her where she's going now - and ask her why

Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go. Oh, let her go.
You're better off as a one man show.

There she stands, with her hands of God,
To convert a man, with the words of love.
There she stands, with her hands of God,
To convert a man, to convert a man,
To convert a man, with the words of love.

2. DON'T SAY GOODBYE

I keep on trying to let you go
But all I keep doing is holding on
And when I look at you now
It hurts me too see
You without me.

I keep on trying to forget and forgive
I keep on trying to live and let live
But it's been so long
And it's so hard to hide
What I feel inside

Don't say goodbye
And don't say forever
And don't say you love me
I know it's a lie.

You walked straight through the crowded bar
My eyes wouldn't leave your side
After all these years

And so many tears
Since we went away, on our separate ways

I keep praying that you will be there
I just can't let you go.
Holding on to all of my memories
I wish I could be
All that you want me to be.

Don't say goodbye
And don't say forever
And don't say you love me
I know it's a lie.

Don't say goodbye
And don't say forever
And don't say you love me
I know it's a lie.

3. THERE GO THE ANGELS

Walking through the backstreets
with the gentle fear of jealousy inside
The darkness of the alley
making all the world seem gone,
I might as well be blind.
I change within an instant, all I have I feel that I no longer need.
And I want what I can't get,
Which leaves the empty street to haunt the man
And his selfish greed.

They look at me and say that he don't care about a thing no more
He's walking to an early grave.

Oh it makes me sad.
To see you down it makes me sad.

There go the angels flying through the sunlit skies
There go the angels there's one for every child that dies
There go the angels don't leave us all behind my friend
There go the angels please don't let my poor friend die.

When I was new in town
you moved within an instant
Into my heart, into my soul
When I needed you, you were there for me and I know
I know that I'll be there for you
I can see that you've been hurt by love
But don't give in I'll lend a helping hand.
I no longer fear you're on the streets,
my fear is finding you
Within your dying sleep.

They look at me and say that he don't care about a thing no more
An empty bottle lying by your head.

Oh it makes me sad.
To see you down it makes me sad.

There go the angels
There go the angels there's one for every child that dies
There go the angels don't leave us all behind my friend
There go the angels please don't let my poor friend die.

There go the angels. There go the angels.
Let them go.

4. ONE WAY DOWN

Driving down this lonely road,
Watching the rain come down
I try so hard to understand,
Why no one stops to take my hand

So take me down, down to the ground
Oh take me up

What more or less could one man need
Bitter words break me down to my knees
Take me away to another time
To another place

And take me down, down to the ground
There's only

One way up - and you take me there to
Watch me fall - fall down to the ground

One word, one move is all it would take
To stop my heart before it brakes
So why can't you see that we're all to blame
There's only

One way up - and you take me there to
Watch me fall - fall down to the ground

Can you hear me call
Can you hear me say
Would you walk away
Can you help me now

One way up - and you take me there to
Watch me fall - fall down to the ground
One way up - and you take me there to
Watch me fall - fall down to the ground.

5. SOLILOQUY

Here I am alone at last
Looking back on the days gone by
The game of life is over now
But don't be sorry and please don't cry
It's not that bad, it could be worse
I could be walking the other way
Towards a life where nobody cares
About what you say and what you do each day

Hey don't be ashamed
Don't run away from the man at the door
Don't be afraid
Things are never as bad as they seem

When I was young I knew a boy
Who killed his brother with his father's gun
He thought it worked just like another toy
This toy will kill us all one by one
We're just people in a fighter's world
It's this life that took my friend to war
If he gets killed for this stupid game
I'll go with him and that's for sure

Don't be ashamed
Don't run away from the man at the door
Don't be afraid
Things are never as bad as they seem.

6. A LITTLE JUSTICE

Voices calling me from distant skies
Who knows what lies beyond the stars
Sky colours fade into my constant dreams
Who knows where we'll wind up from here
Sail away to the wonders of a distant shore
Sail away to the wonders of a distant shore.

Walking down the street at night,
shadows moving in the dark
Don't walk on the other side,
and don't you walk in the park
Some guys drinking late at night
They say they just want to have some fun
We started walking but my friend goes down -
All I could do was run.

There's no one left to hurt but me
So why can't you see

A little justice - like a midnight kiss
A little justice - wouldn't go amiss.

Children lying by the side of the road
They've got no clothes, they've got nothing to say.
They haven't eaten for days on end
And what they've got someone else takes away
They smile as you pass them by,
But what the hell are they smiling for
They've got no money, they've got no home -
And now they smile no more.

There's no one left to hurt you see,
So take a little love from me
And pass it on to help the world, try to find

A little justice, a little justice, a little justice
A little justice in this world of sin.

7. EDGE OF MY HEART

Around the moonlit room, another picture falls.
Another memory fades away
So many feelings come, and then they disappear,
It seems so hard just to walk away.
Across the crowded room, you didn't notice me.
I thought that love would make you see.

Come to me, come to me, And let me hold you in my arms
Can't you see, can't you see,
You're standing on the edge of my heart.

Oh here I am. Waiting for you.
Waiting for you to let me in.
To see you standing there, surrounded by mystery.
I'd wait a thousand years to hold you next to me.

And when I close my eyes
Baby you're still there
Going round and round
Inside my head.

Come to me, come to me, And let me hold you in my arms
Can't you see, can't you see,
You're standing on the edge of my heart.
I can't believe we'll always be so far apart
I want to hold you in my arms
Don't make me cry and don't break my heart.

Around the moonlit room.
Around the moonlit room.
Another picture falls.

8. SOLILOQUY PART II: THE ACT IS OVER

The scenery is set, so let the actors begin
Their play based on love that no one will win.
The moral is the same as they preach to the land
But do they act with their hearts on the floor -
Or their hearts in their

Hand me another hand.
Lead me away from the stage.
Two hearts cannot work without one,
So end this display of a play before it`s begun.

But the damage is done.

The curtain is raised to reveal on the stage
An actor whose lines have already been played
A million times over, to millions of faces
In a thousand strange towns
In ten thousand strange places

In silence he moves to the front of a stage
Without ant reaction, he expresses his rage
Of the part he is playing through Shakespeare`s jaw
The audience have gone cause they`ve had it all before,
so

Hand me another hand.
Lead me away from the stage.
Two hearts cannot work without one,
So end this display of a play before it`s begun.
Before it`s begun.

Let the actors begin.
Let the actors begin...

9. NO TIME FOR YOUR LOVE NO MORE

There's a world out there somewhere
and it's taking me away
There's something going on but
I don't know what to say
You said you wouldn't hurt me like so many did to you
But I keep on trying and do just what I do - to you

So many times that I looked into your eyes
So many times that you fed me those lies
You said you loved me, that you'd love me 'til I died
I don't know why I bother, I don't know why I try.

Don't cry for me, and I won't cry for you
Can't you see that all my love for you is gone now
So find yourself someone new.

I've spent so long now keeping hold of you
But why the hell do I do what I do
I can't take this no longer, I'm heading for the door
I can't take this no longer, I've no time for your love -
No more.

Don't cry for me, and I won't cry for you
Can't you see that all my love for you is gone now
So find yourself someone new.
Oh, someone new.

10. SOMETHING STRANGE

I said something strange, something strange is going on.
I said something weird, something weird is going down,
I said

Something very strange is going on.
I said something very strange is going on.

I woke up, I woke up and got myself a beer.
I said 'what the hell's going on -
There's ain't no beer in here'
(Hey man, where's it all gone?)

I said something very strange is going on.
I said something very strange is going on.

Hey give me some of that piano there -

I went outside, to see what I could see
My car had disappeared -
And my woman's gone and left me to be free.

An' I said something very strange is going on.
I said something very strange is going on.

I started walking, along the cold dark lonely roadside
And until I reach the crossroads -
All I'm gonna do is try and flag a ride.

An' I said something very strange is going on.
I said something very strange is going on

Some - thing - strange.

11. SAVE A TEAR FOR ME

The moon rises high in the morning light
There's a cold wind blowing through your hair.
When we'd walk along the shore
With the sunlight in your hair
I felt oh so good
You and I the times were good
And I won't forget you now - so save a tear
So save a tear for me, save a tear for me.

Now the time has come around
And it's time for me to leave you now
So save a tear for me - save a tear for me
Save a tear for me, save a tear for me.
Another world, another heart
Another day, our two worlds torn apart
Another way, that I love you so

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You'll find someone to hold you through the night
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I wish it could be me that holds you tight -
So tight, so tight.

I never knew that love would hurt so much
I thought the pain would go as I went
Walking through your door
I'll remember you - just save a tear
Save a tear for me. Save a tear for me.
Save a tear for me.

Another world, another heart
Another day, our two worlds torn apart.

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You'll find someone to hold you through the night
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I wish it could be me that holds you tight -
So tight, so tight.
