I Don't Care
I ride this train
in the windswept afternoon
and the sunlight warms the faces
of the faithless and the waiting
I ride this train
but I need a conversation
Mozambique or was it
very weak how 'bout
you pick the subject
and I'll listen to you
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
I ride this train
in a dreamlike state of mind
through a field of frozen memories
imagination racing
I ride this train
but I need to make connections
no I wasn't staring
I was only trying
to get some substance
to get some meaning
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train
as I ride this train
as I ride this train

I'll Bet He Was Cool.
You know every once in awhile
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
Coz I wonder what would happen if He passed you by
Would you be scared?
Would you believe in him?
Would you bust your asses to get him institutionalized?
Well, I bet he'd be cool
I bet He'd be damn good looking
I bet that He smelt divine
I'm not talking about Calvin Klien's Obsession
Just one of those people who smell good all the time
There's no reason why
What would He wear
Would he prefer Tommy Hilfiger?
Or prefer Urban Outfitted?
I don't think so
Well I bet He liked Gaultier
But you;'d never find Him in it
I bet He liked Gaultier
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
You know every once and a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
And tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ
Coz I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by
I bet He'd be a star
I bet my star wars figures he'd be a star
A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima Donna, then He'd appear on Oprah
You know what? I don't think so
Could you imagine Him hanging Piccadilly Circus
Time square, the walk of fame
At Christies He could easily be noticed
D'you know what? I don't think so
I bet my speeder bike He'd turn His back on all of that
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well then multiply that feeling by one million and you know what I'm talking about
Well I'll bet He was cool
Man I bet that cat was damn good looking
Love Can Move You.
Get me through the heart of the freeway,
Got to see the lights up in New York City.
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony.
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby, you know I do.
You get back ten times what you give freely.
Like my mamma told me,
Love can move you take you deeper every time,
Can make the darkest moments like heaven's come alive.
Love can move you to a place inside your heart,
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life.
Get me to the heart of the subway,
Creepin' like a snake into New York City.
I'm so close I think I can see those lights.
Let the sun get closer to the ground.
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby, you know I do.
You get back ten times what you give freely.
Like my mamma told me,
Love can move you take you deeper every time,
Can make the darkest moments like heaven's come alive.
Love can move you to a place inside your heart,
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life.
And I breathe the love you've given,
And I feel the love you've hidden,
And though it's cold down here well I can honestly say,
I can still stay,
That love can move you.
That love can move you too child.
This Side Of Me.
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to feel your hand in mine
And I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I feel the danger, the separation
I want to take your invitation
This separation it's all around
I need this side of me
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stitch my clothes in sin
And in the dark
I want to find that door and go within
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
Memories Are Designed To Fade.
I'd never let you down when you're in a fix,
I'd come running when you call.
That's my weakness baby,
So connected are we.
You get your kicks from the ghost of a memory,
So busy turning away from reality baby.
That it just won't let you go.
But memories fade,
Yeah they're designed that way.
But you're so wrapped up in her you don't see straight.
Watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.
This thing you're using is worse than a photograph.
It picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby.
And it just won't let you go.
But memories fade,
Yeah they're designed that way.
She doesn't love you anymore.
Maybe she did, long ago.
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of baby.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.
But memories fade,
Yeah they're designed that way.
She doesn't love you anymore.
Maybe she did, long ago.
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of baby.
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself.
You're just turning yourself...
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need.
Last Christmas
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Well, last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone...special
Soon...
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas, I've wrapped it up and sent it
With a letter saying "I loved you, I meant it"
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I know you'll fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Soon...
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover when you tore me apart
Ooh...ooh...now I found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone...special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Soon...
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Guilty feet have got no rhythm...
Guilty feet have got no rhythm...
Ooh...ooh...now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again oh no...
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Soon...
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
