The Wall Of Pain You've got your future stood behind you and your past staring in your face and you really, really want to turn your life around but you just don't have the space Sometimes when you want to move forward you've got to loose before you gain You've got to get yourself over to the other side of a great big wall of pain The wall of pain The wall of pain Call me when your over on the other side of your great big wall of pain Well if you every want to see him smiling then you're going to have to break his heart and there's no use in reconciling You should have told him at the start Because while he's lying up there sleeping we're standing in the rain Call me and I'll meet you on the other side of your great big wall of pain The wall of pain The wall of pain Call me and I'll meet you on the other side of your great big wall of pain I had a light at the end of my tunnel but it turned out to be a train The wall of pain The wall of pain Call me when your over on the other side of your great big wall of pain The wall of pain The wall of pain Call me and I'll meet you on the other side of your great big wall of pain Sometimes when you want to get wasted you have to shoot straight for the vein Aha, just call me Fuck your wall of pain

7.	Suicide 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Suicide Did you ever realise you only have to say a thing to hurt somebody? Did you every realise that when you take away a thing you hurt someone too? Maybe if you'd open up your eyes you'd see that everybody's worth something Maybe if you weren't so quick to criticise you'd see yourself in you and follow through Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside? Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside of suicide? There were times when I have felt so dead inside I thought that I should stay that way There were voices inside my head I thought that they were never going to leave I read a book I saw a film I took a drink and then I finally told somebody They didn't understand but when I cried they knew exactly what to do They saw me through Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside? Have you ever wanted to commit Do you ever dream of it? Have you ever felt the grip inside of suicide? ("March of the ill at ease children") And it's the man in me Not the boy in me that's scared to be alone I'm scared to be alone And it's the man in me Not the boy in me that's scared to take you home I'm scared to take you home Cuz when I turn out the light I'm laughing or crying When I kiss you goodnight I'm falling or flying When I cling to you tight I fade away Hey hey Did you? Did you? Did you? Well did you? Maybe if you weren't so quick to criticise you'd see yourself in you Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside? Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside? Have you ever wanted to commit suicide suicide? Have you ever felt the grip inside? Have you ever wanted to commit Do you ever dream of it? Have you ever felt the grip inside of suicide? Mamma don't go Daddy come home

A Girl I Don't Know There's a girl I don't know but I sure love to go down to watch her at work and at play And she looks like she's kind And she's playing on my mind And I'd sure love to take her away to a place where she'd be all she dreams she can be and I'll stay home and cook all her meals And when she comes home at four I will open the door and I'll tell her how swell my heart feels I'll go aaah... If she'd only just glance from the counter by chance and I knew in my heart what to say But she's a girl I don't know so I'll just have to go down and watch her at work and at play Down and watch her at work every day

Don't You Want Me (The Human League) You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you up, I pulled you out, I turned you around Turned you into something new Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back there too Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe it when you say that you don't need me Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now? I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar That much is true But even then, I knew I'd find a much better place Either with or without you The five years we have had have been such good times I still love you But now, I think it's time I lived my life on my own I guess it's just what I must do Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when you say that you don't need me Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now? It's much too late to find If you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me now?
