Here's a tale

That's lost in time

Forgotten tale
Of kingdom old

On mountain peak

There was a king

Who ruled with might

On golden throne

Forgotten throne

People loved their

King and queen

They ruled with love

But not for long

Betrayal fell

Upon the king

And his queen

On fields of gold

So long ago

All that's left are

Weeds and thorns

Where light once shined

On kingdom old
All that's left are

Memories
Of king so bold

And his golden throne

Forgotten throne

Shala la la la
Hold tight.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
These days are lost and long;
All things are crooked and cold;
I'm itching to be numb.
I don't wanna see or know.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Let me take you into my arms;
Shield you from weary and pain.
Who are they who’ve not known harm?
Oh love, I just can't say.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright
I'll sing you a tune –
When love dies in the dark.
A song for those who lose;
Life gone and took my spark.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
The day is lost and long;
All things are crooked and cold.
We’re fixing to be numb.
I don't wanna see or know.
Shala la la la
Well it's alright.
Shala la la la
Get me through the night.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.

Make her so she’s smooth
Make she so she’s calm
Make her seem aloof
Make her love your charm
Make your sacrifice
Make her impolite
Make her up with your imagination
Hold her in your room
Get her in your sights
And then re-animate her with your chat up lines
And if you shower me with diamonds
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you’re sending daily flowers
Plug me in and I’ll respond

You’re like a diamond in the rough

Tell her she’s no fool
Make her love mankind
Check that she’s online
Webcammed all the time
Forward to your friends
URLs for men
She makes them beg for their emancipation

Network her in Cannes
Newsgroups for her fans
A phenomenon you built in your lunchtime

And if you shower me with diamonds
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you’re sending daily flowers
Plug me in and I’ll respond

And if cover me with perfume
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you tell me I’m your girlfriend
Plug me in and I’ll respond




You’re like a diamond in the rough
Cover me, cover me…

Little kids running round
Life is like a playground
Waiting for the recess

Kicking balls and marbles
Underneath the tables
To peak bellow the dress

Girls and boys trading toys
pulling on the poney tails

All that fun and all that noise hoping for kiss and tell

My heart bruns harder than the sun

I wanna touch your hand
And hold you close to me
Yeah do you understand , the way that I feel
I just wanna be your boyfriend
Maybe you could be my girlfriend
Pretend that we’re grown ups now

Home at last,
the travel’s sure been a blast.
So glad to be back,
I’m so glad to be back.

What is that,
under our bed.
Sure as hell’s not mine.
I’m sure that it’s not mine.

Should I pretend
that I’ve seen nothing ?
Candlelight dinner
holding your hand.
Should you pretend
that nothing happend ?
Candlelight dinner
holding my hand.

Home at last,

Lie to me and I’ll lie to you
A lie to wash it clean
I wanted to believe in you
But the truth can’t be unseen

We're at point blank,
Tomorrow back to back,
We're standing face to face.
I could paint a new sky
On a winding sail,
You're walking on a land
that I no longer claim,
I will pass on ,
Just like a bird,
A swift soul,
Up in a cloud of dirt.
And I'll be leaving these muds
On a stream of words.
My love is not a spell,
And yours is not a curse
I got for you no golden ring,
I got for you no golden ring,
I got for you no golden ring,
And I don't really have another day
It's not for you, the golden ring
It's not for you, the golden ring
It's not for you, the golden ring
No, I don't even have another day
Your eye's won't blink
When staring at my back
When I won't see your face.
I found a shining blue sky,
For my winding sail.
I'm walking to the land,
The one I've always claimed.
You will pass on,
Just like a girl,
A sweet song,
Down in a pile of dirt.
I'm just weaving these words
To the screams of hers.
My love is not so well,
And yours is not much worse.
I got for you no golden ring,
I got for you no golden ring,
I got for you no golden ring,
And I don't really have another day
It's not for you, the golden ring
It's not for you, the golden ring
It's not for you, the golden ring
And I don't even have another day
