Let Me Go 04:11
Belle, belle Jezebel, liberate me from this life of hell (Baby let me go) Free free set me free, why won't you just let me be (Baby let me go) Been knocking on heaven's door but it won't open up for me no more no more (Baby let me go) Breathe, breathe gotta breathe, I wanna live I gotta leave (Baby let me go…) Fool fool, crazy fool, What did the hell I see in you yeah (Oh Baby let me go) Oh baby baby let me be, erase me from your memory (Oh Baby let me go) It´s time you realised I won't be part of your disguise (Oh Baby let me go) It's time to free me from my chains, yeah girl I want to live again (Oh Baby let me go...) (You can think it's a shame shame, it don't matter...) Maybe it's a shame, but it´s time to end the game yeah Don't matter to me if your face I never see again no more Don't matter to me if your face I never see no more (You can think it's a shame shame, it don't matter, you can think it's a shame shame) (Oh Baby let me go...) Bye bye say goodbye but you won't see no tears in my eyes (Oh Baby let me go) Cause its a shame shame crying shame that you'll never hear my name again (Oh Baby let me go) Rain rain in my heart, gotta make those grey clouds fall apart (Oh Baby let me go) Oh let me feel the summer sun, I'll be a new man when you're gone (Oh Baby let me go...) (You can think it's a shame shame, it don't matter...) Free free, set me free, you've got a hold on me My name you'll never see 'cause your love is history Let me feel that summer sun, I'll be a new man when you're gone (You can think it's a shame shame it don't matter...) (You can think it's a shame shame)

Set Me Free 03:44
Warm bed, cold morning It's raining it's pouring You're still sleeping, I'm yawning Don't wanna get up Gotta be a better way than waking to another day Running after time, working my life away Here in the city ain't no pity You live, you die, in obscurity No time even to dream Spend life swimming upstream Pressure building, won't abate Keep it cool, negotiate Smile, smile, put on a show Play the game and go with the flow Who's gonna win? nobody knows Yeah that's the way it goes They won't let me be They won't set me free… They won't just let me be No they won't.. Tell 'em what is it is when it is what it isn't Spin another lie, make another million Monkey, monkey, climb that tree Get to the top ain't nothing to see Tree shook, came down squealing Selling my soul, begging and stealing In the city there ain't no pity You live, you die, in obscurity Another brother chased the dream Another sucker swam upstream Higher you climb, higher you fall End of story curtain call Time was when I stopped the show Time was a long time ago Well I had my time now it's time to go Hell that's the way it goes They won't let me be They won't set me free... They won't just let me be No they won't.. Time was when I stopped the show Time was a long time ago Well I had my time now it's time to go Hell that's the way it goes No they won't...

Out on your feet Life's got you beat There's only one way to get back in line That's to take some time for perambulating Feeling the blues Way down to your shoes Get on the good foot, get yourself outside Take a look around There's a whole world waiting Losing the race Can't follow the pace Letting the grass grow from beneath your feet You gotta get on the move Hear me when I'm talking Girl you adored More than you could afford You wanna stop seeing red, get back in the black Just don't look back And keep on walking Gotta keep Gotta keep Gotta keep walking Battery low Letting it go It's all too easy just to hide your head when you feel that life has become too pedestrian Needing a friend Someone to depend upon Who'll come running when he hears that call To kick your ass out of bed And get on your feet again One step at a time Yeah you're gonna feel fine When you put one foot down in front of the other Getting far away From the honking and the squawking Everything's great When you perambulate Breathe in the air take it all in your stride Leave it all far behind And keep on walking Gotta keep Gotta keep Gotta keep walking Let's step outside!

(Should have been you, should have been I) Should have been forever Should have been a dream Should have been the cat That always got the cream Should have been so sweet Lying in the sun Should have been the summer But the rain was all we came upon Should have been unforgettable Should have been a hit Instead it was regrettable Guess I could have figured it Should have got hot But then I had to learn You never keep it cooking If the flame don't burn Should have stopped my loving when I saw the message on your phone (Piggy in the middle) Should have seen it coming that you'd leave me standing all alone Should have been forever, I gave it everything I had (Piggy in the middle) Well we should've stayed together but it ended up so so bad Tell you now (Should have been you, should have been I) Well I should have saw your cheating bitch Lying to my face Should have been a man Instead i was a sorry case Should have made a record Couldn't pay the band Should have played you an ace I never got to play the hand Thrown a seven But I never made the call should have been like heaven I'm gonna lose it all Should have been with me Instead it was with him Never saw him coming I guess I'll never win Momma told me never get bitten by the same dog twice I should made a rule of taking heed of her good advice There's always gonna be shadows even when you're standing in the sun And you never see the sand that your castle has been built upon (Should have been you, should have been I) (Piggy in the middle) It's over my back Again and again Will this piggy in the middle Ever catch the ball and stop the flame. Over my back Again and again Will the piggy in the middle Ever catch the ball and stop the game. This boy's so tired of playing second fiddle Well it's time to quit playing piggy in the middle This boy's so tired of playing second fiddle Babe let's quit playing piggy in the middle

Crying in the morning done and gone (Since you went away) Waking up warmed by the morning sun (Since you went away) I used to feel bad now I'm feeling fine (Since you went away) What used to be yours now it's mine all mine (Since you went away) No more fighting No more up-tighting No more fretting No more regretting No more scheming No more shouting and screaming Ain't no more wasting My precious time cause I'm Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Since you went away... (Getting better everyday…) Where used to be grey skies up and gone (Since you went away) Well I used to feel dead now life goes on (Since you went away) Well that monkey died that was on my back (Since you went away) Yeah now I walk proud ain't looking back (Since you went away) No more resenting No argumenting No more sweating Cause I'm done with regretting Done with misleading lying and cheating I'm done with wasting My precious time cause I'm Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Since you went away... Say goodbye You won't see no tear in my eye (Getting better everyday…) Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Getting better everyday Since you went away...

Dear Bro 02:16
If i wait any longer I'll feel i've already written this letter I think there are no more beautiful words Than the ones you've just said All of those so unexpected and hoped altogether I'm also happy to know you a little better And I'm proud to be your brother Distance gives us the chance to see us grow So don't worry bro' There's time for all the things yet to discover about each other Enjoy our separation without much connection Cause we'll go from day to day strangers To rare but real brothers Please don't feel compelled to answer this letter right away I do feel like it takes time To really communicate Thanks for your honesty And the courage that it takes So i hope to see you soon Sincerely yours, Your dear brother

Well you can run But you can't hide When your time has come! (Way down, way down, way down in the night, it's killing time...) But you never can hide When it's killing time
