Black - The Collection [compilation] (2002) by Black (보컬) on maniadb.com

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

CHORUS:
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life

The sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh I need a friend to make me happy
Not stand here on my own

CHORUS

I need a friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone

REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE

I make no promises,
I make no guarantees,
it makes no difference
when you're all at sea.
Try me for money,
you can try me for days,
I'll be indifferent
when you've none you can't pay.
Say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
You made your preference,
you made your guarantees
and it made no difference
we're still all at sea.
Tell me it's working now
you can tell me for days,
I'll be indifferent,
there's no justice this way.
Oh, say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
(solo)
Oh, say something good to me,
say it's not always.
You've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
We can do it, we can do it,
all we need is the money.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
Hey, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.
Oh, you've got the power,
now, now give us the means.

Sometimes I wonder
at this shame I hide,
pare away the man
and find the worm inside.
Your mind's unclear
and instinct is a lie,
I hear what you say you'd do
and I wish it was true.
How can he take you
when you give yourself?
All the old lines
just to bind yourself,
then you wrap yourself around me
and whisper in my ear.
Where is your jealousy?
All I feel is fear.
I want to hear it,
and I want to see.
Let me watch you make love
and imagine that it's me.
(solo)
I want to hear it,
and I want to see.
Let me watch you make love
and imagine that it's me.

I run at things too fast,
Only give them half a chance-
Say what you want, what you will,
But it's true.

I'm far too lazy,
I do enough but nothing more.
I like to drink, I like to play-
Do you too?

You never know
Just what the blues are like
Until you take
A taste of the sweet life.

I found an angel,
A reason to smile-
A best friend.
Until I knew her I never knew

What a woman can do-
Did what she want, did what she will-
Is it true?
She holds her own, she holds mine too,

We do a marry dance.
Do what we want, do what we will-
Do you too?
I brush her hair

And it crackles with the static-
I never meant to kiss her,
It was purely automatic.
She's my angel,

She's my Betty Blue,
She's my best friend.

Her fingers drumming time, drumming time,
Drumming on my heating heart.
I got it good, I've got it bad-
It's true, uh-huh.

You never know
Just what the blues are like
Until you take
A taste of the sweet life.

I found an angel,
A reason to smile-
A best friend.
She's gone,

She's out of sight,
She's my love me tender,
My P. G. fright,
My lady day in the dead of night,

My best friend.
She's my best friend.

I think my heart must be made of clay,
'Cause everyone said it would be broken some day,
And now I've come to that fateful day,
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands,

And don't tell me how to make it pay,
I write a new song every day,
I just wish I was made of wood,
I might not feel pain, even if I should,

CHORUS:
Even if I should,
If I should

The sweetest smile that ever did.
Melt the pats in the butter dish.
And if you could have believed in me.
I swear to God I'd have made damn sure.

Our hearts were warm,
And glad with wine.
I'd keep the doors locked all the time.
I just wish I was made of wood.
You might not seem glad.
Even if you should.

CHORUS:
Even if you should
If you should
If you should
If you should

I think my heart must be made of clay.
'Cause everyone said it would be broken someday.
Seems like I have come to that fateful day.
So I sit on the floor with my head in my hands
With my head in my hands.

CHORUS (Repeat)

Baby,
once more I won't ask again,
don't tell me I should count to ten.
Think freely.
I won't attempt to curb your speech,
it sounds like something out of reach.
Oh, it's crazy,
when I think of how I feel so free,
maybe there is something wrong with me.
Could be!
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
Bingo!
You've said it, you don't care to play,
just drag on through another day.
Oh, maybe
it's time you learn to play the fool,
break some of your silly rules.
Oh, and someday,
when you think you can't do anymore,
I'll be lying here to break your fall,
so small.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
(solo)
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.

Here we are,
between the towers of
love and devotion.
Why can't we
seem to be
what we want to be?
Always placing obstacles
in our path, in our way.
I try to ride the chill in me,
but here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
Here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
Here we are,
and here we'll stay,
wrapped up in an ocean,
a veil of tears,
imagined fears,
and God knows why.
But whatever I try to do
it goes in right,
and comes out wrong.
I try to ride the chill in me,
but here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
Here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
(solo)
Whatever I try to do
it always goes in right,
and comes out wrong.
I try to ride the chill in me,
but here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
Here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)
Here it comes again.
(Here it comes again,
here it comes again,
play with me,
tearing all my world apart)

So many problems,
so many dreams, so many hangdog faces.
So many ways to say
"oh! I'll never see another day
with you in it".
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I can count your saving graces on two fingers.
Love them, sit on them.
You told me that you're not afraid to die.
And dying's easy, life that's hard.
I don't believe a word.
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
Life's not easy,
but it's all you have.
(solo)
So I can count on you.
Don't ever, never, never, never, never
let it split away.
And dying's easy?
I think I'll try it out today!
(I just grew tired),
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired
of love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

Seeing you,
I knew why I'd come so far,
and I thanked the stars
for leading me to you.
Your fairy tale prince,
I'm trying so hard
to make like an orchard
in my own back yard.
Oh the rain dribbles down
me in my beatitude,
my collar and shirt,
down legs to battered shoes.
Life is a breeze!
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
And I'm still living
my teenage angst,
on the printed page
and in other ways.
So if I seem cruel,
it's only the fool in me,
that wants to try
and see if you'll cry.
Oh the rain dribbles down
me in my beatitude,
my collar and shirt,
down legs to battered shoes.
Life is a breeze!
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
(solo)
Uh I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
No need to ask why
I'm mischief and joy,
I'm still the tall boy
who just wouldn't crawl.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
no need to ask you're the best,
you're the best that I've had.
(I'm just making memories)
I'm just making memories
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
