Rosenthal dwr1@cornell.edu @SONG: LEAVE IN SILENCE 6:21 I've told myself so many times before But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop I've reached a natural conclusion: Out with the illusion I hate being in these situations Back off of diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer or I thought we had a chance or I could stop this I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer What can I say? I don't want to play anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence We've been running around in circles all year Do we listen that in getting nowhere This'll be the last time I think I said that last time If I only had a potion Some magical lotion I could stop this I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion What can I say? I don't want to play anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence @SONG: MY SECRET GARDEN 4:45 My secret garden's Not so secret anymore Run from the past Holding my head in my hands Feeling dejected Feeling like a child might feel It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden's Not so secret anymore No, my secret garden's Not so secret anymore Run through the fields Down to the edge of the water Can't stay long Here comes the reason why: She'll catch me if she can And take me by the hand I'll have to keep on running And I just can't see the fun in My secret garden Not being secret Anymore It used to be so easy on days such as these She'd search and search for hours In among the flowers I loved it I loved her Play the fool; act so cruel (I loved it) Read a book; take a look (I loved her) It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden's Not so secret anymore @SONG: MONUMENT 3:14 When the site was found We laid the foundations down It didn't take long Before they came back tumbling down Don't go at night You need a little light How else you gonna see What it's gonna be like? So we picked up our tools And we worked in the morning light With the last stone placed Wasn't it a wonderful sight? But it fell back down And scattered all around Anything passes when you need glasses My monument: it fell down Work all of my days For this kind of praise It fell down @SONG: NOTHING TO FEAR 4:16 (Instrumental) @SONG: SEE YOU 4:35 All I want to do is see you again Is that too much to ask for? I just want to see your sweet smile Smile the way it was before Well I'll try not to hold you And I'll try not to kiss you And I won't even touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true? I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods And sit on the bench for a while I treasure the way we used to laugh and then Look in each others eyes You can keep me at a distance If you don't trust my resistance But I swear I won't touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true? Well I know five years is a long time And that times change But I think that you will find People are basically the same If the water's still flowing, We can go for a swim And do the things we used to do ???But if I could nudge him ???He could pull me in ???And we could be real voyeurs ???Oh the print is friendly, Like sister and brother But I think I still love you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true? @SONG: SATELLITE 4:40 Now hear this my friends I'll never be the same again Gonna lock myself in a cold black room Put a shadow o'er myself And a veil of gloom I will function, operate I will be A satellite of hate Driving to this point by a chain of events Each one pushed me nearer the edge Gonna send my message through to you And you'll receive the signal too I will function, operate I will be A satellite of hate Higher Disillusioned I was disenchanted Forgot the love that had been implanted Heard the lies and I felt the cold It broke my heart And I lost control Now I'm a satellite of instinct I'm a satellite of hate A satellite of hate Higher @SONG: THE MEANING OF LOVE 3:06 I've read more than a hundred books Seen love mentioned many thousand times But despite all the places I've looked It's still no clearer It's just not enough I'm still no nearer The meaning of love Noted down all my observations Spent an evening watching television Still I couldn't say with precision No, it's a feeling and it comes from above But what's the meaning, the meaning of love? The meaning of love Tell me the meaning of love From the notes that I've made so far ???Love seems something like wanting Asgaard Well I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see, I've never been in love before Next I asked several friends of mine If they could spare a few minutes of their time Their look suggested that I'd lost my mind Tell me the answer My love high above Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love Tell me the meaning of love From the notes that I've made so far ???Love seems something like wanting Asgaard Well I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see, I've never been in love before Tell me the meaning of love Tell me @SONG: FURTHER EXCERPTS FROM MY SECRET GARDEN 4:20 (Instrumental) @SONG: A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU 3:04 What good is a photograph of you? Every time I look at it It makes me feel blue What use is a souvenir of something We once had When all it ever does is Make me feel bad? I wish I could tear it up But then again I haven't the guts I wish I could throw it on the fire I wish I could But to say I would I'd be a liar What good is a color print of you, baby doll When just one little glance is enough to make me feel dull? I want I would misplace it But then I take such good care of it I wish it would disappear I say I wish But then I really wish it'd be here What good is a photograph of you Every time I look at it It makes me feel blue @SONG: SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT 3:10 Plans made in the nursery Can change the course of history Remember that Mom is annoyed, says go and play Don't show your face Stay away all day Shouldn't have done that Small boy and his infantry Marching around so naturally Shouldn't have done that Grows up and goes to school Such a nice boy Obeys all the rules Mummy's proud of that Leaves school To follow his ambition Knows what he wants: To be a politician Shouldn't have done that @SONG: THE SUN & THE RAINFALL 5:02 Someone will call Something will fall And smash on the floor Without reading the text Know what comes next (Seen it before) And it's painful Things must change We must rearrange them Or we'll have to estrange them All that I'm saying The games that we're playing Over and over again You're the one I like best You retain my interest You're the only one If it wasn't for you Don't know what I'd do Unpredictable like the sun And the rainfall Things must change We must rearrange them Or we'll have to estrange them All that I'm saying The games that we're playing Over and over again
