Bang 02:48
BANG Climbing to the top Must have been the wrong tree Nothing's coming up And it's getting scary If we can't get it together Tell me what am I doing here So whatcha gonna do  When they bang on your door? You know they're here to get you So you run some more Oh whatcha wanna do Is really not up to you And it may take some time It's your loss, they don't know what you've seen It could be worth your while Cos you're lost, and they don't know where you've been DON'T GIVE UP WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY BANG ON YOUR DOOR? YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEAR THE LIFE YOU LEAVE BEHIND WHY DON'T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND (WHAT YOU'RE LEAVING BEHIND) WHY DON'T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND (IT IS TIME TO GO FORWARD) Five thousand people with their hands in the air A hundred mental pictures, you've got memories to share When you find yourself a lover You'll get the hell outta here And it may take some time It's your loss, they don't know what you've seen It could be worth your while Cos you're lost, and they don't know where you've been DON'T GIVE UP WHATCHA GONNA DO WILL YOU RUN SOME MORE? PLEASE DON'T HATE YOURSELF COS YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHY DON'T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE IT THIS TIME?

Piano Theme Park There's no logic in what I've done Why did I have to mess around? Some say it's magic that comes undone And now my burden weighs a ton Why did I have to mess it up? I guess you just had to bring me down I couldn't get away with just a frown I saw myself yourself high above the ground I was just a king with a plastic crown why did I have to turn you down? (why did I have to tear you down?) when you thought it was safe and sound (when you thought it was safe and sound) And now there's no turning back Just an unfinished track An old black and white movie Playing a song so sad it moves me I couldn't stay with you Even if you wanted me to I couldn't just stay with you (didn't want to stay with you) hope you're better now we're through (I just can't make it up to you) and now there's no turning back just an unfinished track and now there's no turning back just an unfinished track

Middle Of Nowhere Up and down, to and fro Back and forth, one more to go To the left or to the right Soon we'll be, we'll be outta sight I thought I'd always find my way But it's been days And now I'm stuck out there Right in the middle of nowhere Fast forward rewind the tape You're way behind the great escape Off the wall, under the bridge It's dark out there, just like in a fridge I thought I'd always find my way But it's been days And now i'm stuck out there Right in the middle of nowhere I've been going round in circles all my life i just need a new cycle I've been going round in circles all my life I've been going round in circles all my life I've been going round in circles all my life I must find a new cycle I thought I'd always find my way But it's been days And now I'm stuck out there Right in the middle of nowhere I'm in the middle of nowhere Right in the middle of nowhere

Call Up 02:50
Call Up I'm falling asleep,  Let's put some music on, Not just softly in the background, I've been waiting for someone To sing my fears Riding on the highway, Slowing down, no way. There's a dead deer by the side of the road, I've seen dozens of squashed toads WHAT ELSE COULD I DO? I THOUGHT WE WERE THROUGH… LET ME DRAW A  LINE, YOU WON'T ERASE WITH A SMILE It's summertime, and the window's open The car's so hot, it feels like an oven I've been dreaming of someone  Who would wipe my forehead You really put me in the corner of the room, of the street, now it's over A lot's been done, and now i'm gone it's the end of our play  WHAT IS LEFT FOR YOU? I DON'T HAVE A CLUE COULDN'T CHANGE YOUR STYLE PLEASE GIVE ME BACK WHAT'S MINE repeat chorus

Whatever or ('89 version) what you want from me, I just don't know what it is, you see what you want from me, I just don't know what it is, really what you want from me, I just don't know what it is If you wanna make it it happen find the right words to say
