Now
And the world seems to need a cash injection While the politicians all face rejection. And the once trusted horders now fall on swords 6 weeks in, the story got us bored And the dole queues grow with disenchanted While further cash is now demanded To prop up a system that seems doomed to fail The once cocky traders are sorry tail Nothin this good could ever last forever And the politicians try to patch things together But the winds of change are surely blowing Our direction now? Theres no way of knowing! Take my car, take my excessive lifestyle Take my bonus and all my smug smiles The rich still spend while the average fail At least on every high street theres another sale! This is, that was, this is, that was our now Got to live through it anyhow (Keep on livin) And sickness creeps into every hallway But its not half as bad as the tabloids say But the doctors just dont want to treat you: Take some time off and hope you pull through! And a pop star dies from self prescription While we all line up to point out his inflictions Its a sorry thing when the heros fall Cuz they lived theirs lives, living off the wall This is, that was, this is, that was our now Its fallen, broken, corrupt, disjointed somehow You better keep living it anyhow (Keep on livin) This is, that was, this is, that was our now You got to enjoy it anyhow!

Make Over
So come I need to overturn this person Ive become Over to this place Bogged down in day-to-day. Only consider whats already done! Show me some disgrace And Ive let myself slide into a parking space You dont have to be so shy Because comfort can slow down any pace Im a million different things Not one you know. Make me over Time to turn it up to 10 Make me over Time to be reborn again Give back the confidence thats lost and which they took away Take to the floor. Rise again and let the music play Cuz Im ready for you now and I want to take it all I think you like what I see so come on and give me a call Im a million different things Rolled into one. Make me over Time to turn it up to 10 Make me over Time to be reborn again Make me over Cuz this time I have to win Make me over Time rise on up again (x2) This time You will not have to wait I will not hesitate Give you love you cant deny (Chorus x 2) Some times We all need to turn ON Dont be turned off for too long Make it come alive And you made Me see your point of view Brought me up heights a new You truly can surprise (Right be before my eyes) (Chorus) Your not in love with me I think you can clearly see, That your tearing me apart With your insecurity With your insecurity I think that your scare of me Scared to see what little you have got Your not in love with me I can see Your not in love with me I think you can clearly see, That your tearing me apart With your insecurity I think that your scare of me Scared to see what little you have got Your not in love with me I can see

Ready For You

I need to know what this is all about Live as much as I could anyhow Drank what I could but was left feeling dry Drank what I could just to get by I made some mistakes and I broke a few bones But a broken heart always feels alone Felt I was looking, but not getting there You were on my mind, but hope didnt dare Now it seems there was always a plan That I would end up being your man But Im ready for you now Im ready to wrap my arms all around your world And Im ready for you now Im ready to see this life of ours unfurl The planets aligned and you were standing there But with baggage in toe, but I didnt care All the slips and the falls as you worked things through But guess who was waiting here for you Now a new page has begun By the fates we all will be done (Chorus) And you hurt me sometimes with your indecision But something told me to hold on Told me to forgive each and every indiscretion You were just in progression Now a new phase has begun By the fates we all will be done And Im done But Im ready for you now (Chorus)

Extraordinary Nature
Its taken long enough to get me to this place To find the feelings to help me communicate But now it all seems to fall right into place For you to be here and for me not to hesitate Cuz you got me You struck me right down Then you threw me Turned my view right around You turned a light on Pulled me out of the dark Did not remark on All the previous marks I got this feeling This feeling inside me You got me reeling Much more that you can see Im blinded by your love light Your light shone right through me This is extraordinary And so I pull you close I want to feel you here Right up close to every previous fear You make it all turn over You make me turn inside To find a new surface on which you can reside Cuz you made me You made me call you out And Ive been searching For what this life is about You knocked me sideways Made me see a new view Its what I needed To take in all of you (Chorus)

Perfect World
Lisa got up every dreary morning And hit the gym to stop the yawning (well) Before she headed into work Had a good job more than covered the bills And bought her anything to cure her ills All to avoid a sleeping hurt The past maybe lying in a silent slumber But it will always still have your number And things have a habit of coming around Being 40 and alone werent part of the plan But she cant seem to hold to any man And so in her house her voice and the TV are the only sounds Is this what she wants? Is this what she needs? Money can only provide the pretty things Its not a perfect world Theres green beyond the guild Its not a perfect world Especially if you dont have the will Its not a perfect world David was a legal eagle You paid him money to make him believable And sure hed win his case He spent his time living work Its and easy way to avoid any hurt If you avoid every single attractive face But knocking back drinks after work Social evenings where they all network And have another glass of the same And just across the bar he locked eyes With the one he always considered a prize But for whom an hour here and there just werent enough So now that its over But they still love each other It werent part of the career plan To be in love with another man Its not a perfect world Theres green beyond the guild Its not a perfect world Especially if you dont have the will Its not a perfect world Theres green beyond the guild Its not a perfect world Especially if you dont have the will Its not a perfect world Its not a perfect world. Its not a perfect world Theres green beyond the guild Its not a perfect world And we just sit back and watch it unfurl Its not a perfect world Theres green beyond the guild Its not a perfect world We sit back and watch it unfurl Its not a perfect world All tracks P./C.

American American Dont you understand?

Dont you understand? I want to be your man, If you treat me like yours All this false pretence And all this self defense Only open old sores Ive lived long enough to know Nothing comes it only goes If you dont progress But people they move on But youre staying put too long So you have to confess That Your not in love with me I think you can clearly see, That your tearing me apart With your insecurity I think that your scare of me Scared to see what little you have got Dont you understand? My time is in demand But you squander it so easily You just dont seem to know Nothing comes it only goes If you dont spend some time with me I know it seems selfish But this is my only wish For a non committer like you But Im tired to even try Ill just move on with my life And Ill let you shoot through That I think that your scare of me Scared to see what little you have got Your not in love with me I can see That Your not in love with me I think you can clearly see, That your tearing me apart With your insecurity I think that your scare of me Scared to see what little you have got Your not in love with me I can see Take me to your queen! Im living the American dream At the rate of a thousand miles With full-on customer service smiles And I will not be ignored On day-time TV is where Im loved and adored But still Ill never learn While all the bridges burn Im a living incarnation Of a self-fulfilling persuasion And Ill be your perfect man I am an American American I am an American American Im fighting for pro-life rights On behalf of my 16th wife And Ill send my son to war But bring him back in a body bag, Wrapped in the flag he went out there fighting for And Ill live on the Hollywood hills Above the noxious fumes that kill While the poverty grinds below And the gap between them and me Just grows and grows and grows (Chorus) Im a living incarnation Of a self-fulfilling persuasion And Ill be your perfect man Im American American In this country that I love I will never be enough But Ill be your perfect man I am an American American I am an American American

State of Mind
Your always looking back Head turning the other way Always under attack, From actions of another day You think the world should pay, For every hardship dealt You forget the present day, Where better things are felt And I say today is just a state of mind And I see, believe tomorrow is much harder to find And you get a missed call, After two more years have passed But you cant help him at all. Theres a reason you always came last Well look at yourself now You nearly have it all But youre not facing forward And you wont see any fall And I say today is just a state of mind And I see, believe tomorrow is much harder to find

Systems Down You Got Me

You think youre original Think you got style But Ive been round the block Ive been here for a while Youre on the dance floor like a neon light Trying to make a body come home with you tonight But looking hot just dont do it for me I like a bit more to someone than I can see So prove yourself, now come on what do you say? This is my city and Ill show you how we play I guess I was wrong You could still teach this guy some rights from the wrongs So what do you say? You got me, you got, you got me coming around x (2) All eyes are on us as my hand slides down I feel the music but I dont hear a sound And then you pull me close so I can feel Whats on our minds so we both know the deal So take me home, let you do your worst I got to say that my bubble burst I guess you saw that I was so cynical But you turn me on so I guess I will Even just for tonight I never saw anything better under the neon light So just take me home (Chorus x 2) You really opened my eyes Id given up on any surprise Well lets not make this a one night thing Heres my number You know what toys to bring (Chorus x 2) The systems down The systems down Panic stricken people all around The systems down The systems down Dont think it can reboot this time around The bullets fly, our soldiers die Society turns over on another lie You lose your home, break every bone Living for the company will only leave you alone The big career just melts down in tears No more job for you just repayment fears Your solder son died by the gun Dont matter if youre brave if the battle cant be won (Chorus) Hes coming up Hes pulling strings Were all playing his game as another bigot wins The lights go out The fires burn The waters rising up Too late a lesson learned The sky falls in The serpents win Taking over chaos with their righteous sin Declaring war on us infidels But ol Nicks got the jihads a hot seat in hell! (Chorus) But we keep on holding on (x4) The system is down.

Revelation
Hay baby I want you with me Ive been restrained, been good as can be! But you picked me up and then you threw me Made me be all that I can be (Wait a minute?) Youre my revelation Without complication Youre my revelation Without hesitation You pick me up, when I fall down You pull my head out of the clouds And Ill do the same in return Youre every single lesson learnt (Wait a minute?) Youre my revelation And no complication Youre my revelation (I think I wanna dance!) Youre my revelation (Bridge!) And you make me come alive And my best Ill try to strive (well, well, well, well, Youre my revelation (well, well, well, well, No complication (well, well, well, well, Youre my revelation (well, well, well, well, Without hesitation well) well) well) well)

Turn ON
Turn on When you really catch my eye A heat I cant deny It just makes me want you more So come over to my space Let me see you naked face Sexuality you cant ignore Turn me on Turn on You surely catch my eye A body I cant deny When its right up next to mine Surprise When I feel along your thigh You can never deny That you want it at the same time Dont you wanna come and ride with me Dont you wanna spend some time with me Dont you wanna try to find with me Another way to turn it ON Dont you want try and Come with Dont you want try a ride with me Dont you want spend some time with me Were gonna have to Turn it ON
