Take these hands, they're good for nothingYou know these hands have never worked a dayTake these boots, they're going nowhereYou know these boots they don't want to strayYou got my head filled with songsYou got my shoelaces undoneTake my shirt, go on, take it off meYou can tear it up if you can tie me down Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved? Take the colours of my imaginationTake the scent hanging in the airTake this tangle of a conversationAnd turn it into your own prayerWith my fingers as you want themWith my nails under your hideWith my teeth at your backAnd my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?And it looks like the SunBut it feels like the rain, oh Love's a bully pushing and shovingIn the belly of a womanHeavy rhythm taking overTo stick togetherA man and a womanStick togetherMan and womanStick together Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?And it looks like the SunBut it feels like the rainAnd there's heat in the SunTo see us through the rainDo you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?Do you feel loved?

I want a trip inside your headSpend the day there…To hear the things you haven't saidAnd see what you might see I want to hear you when you callDo you feel anything at all?I want to see your thoughts take shapeAnd walk right out Freedom has a scentLike the top of a new born baby's head The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've seen enough I'm not giving upOn a miracle drug Of science and the human heartThere is no limitThere is no failure here sweetheartJust when you quit… I am you and you are mineLove makes nonsense of spaceAnd time… will disappearLove and logic keep us clearReason is on our side, love… The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've had enough of romantic loveI'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it upFor a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug God I need your help tonight Beneath the noiseBelow the dinI hear your voiceIt's whisperingIn science and in medicine“I was a strangerYou took me in” The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've had enough of romantic loveI'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it upFor a miracle, miracle drug Miracle, miracle drug

Nobody else here babyNo one here to blameNo one to point the fingerIt's just you and me and the rain Nobody made you do itNo one put words in your mouthNobody here taking ordersWhen love took a train heading south It's the blind leading the blondIt's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs Hey if God will send his angelsAnd if God will send a signAnd if God will send his angelsWould everything be all right God has got his phone off the hook, babeWould he even pick up if he couldIt's been a while since we saw that childHanging round this neighbourhoodYou see his mother dealing in a doorwaySee Father Christmas with a begging bowlJesus' sister's eyes are a blisterThe high street never looked so low It's the blind leading the blondIt's the cops collecting for the consSo where is the hope and where is the faithAnd the love... what's that you say to meDoes love... light up your Christmas treeThe next minute you're blowing a fuseAnd the cartoon network turns into the news If God will send his angelsAnd if God will send a signAnd if God will send his angelsWhere do we goWhere do we go Jesus never let me downYou know Jesus used to show me the scoreThen they put Jesus in show businessNow it's hard to get in the door It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songsBut I guess it was something to go on If God will send his angelsI sure could use them here right nowWell if God would send his angels I don't want to lie(where do we go)I don't want to have a feel for the songAnd I want to love, and I...(where do we go)And I want to feel alone

Summer stretching on the grassSummer dresses passIn the shade of a willow treeCreeps a crawling over meOver me and over youStuck together with God's glueIt's going to get stickier too It's been a long hot summerLet's get under coverDon't try too hard to thinkDon't think at all I'm not the only oneStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'll findIf you took a look insideI'm not just deaf and dumbStaring at the SunNot the only oneWho's happy to go blind There's an insect in your earIf you scratch it won't disappearIt's gonna itch and burn and stingYou want to see what the scratching bringsWaves that leave me out of reachBreaking on your back like a beachWill we ever live in peace? 'Cause those that can't doOften have toAnd those that can't doOften have to preach To the onesStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'd findIf you took a look insideNot just deaf and dumbI'm staring at the SunI'm not the only oneWho'd rather go blind Intransigence is all aroundMilitary still in townArmour plated suits and tiesDaddy just won't say goodbyeReferee won't blow the whistleGod is good but will He listenI'm nearly greatBut there's something missing I left it in the duty free areaBut you never really belonged to me You're not the only oneStaring at the SunAfraid of what you'd findYou step back insideNot sucking on my thumbI'm staring at the SunI'm not the only oneWho's happy to go blind

The more you see the less you knowThe less you find out as you goI knew much more then than I do now Neon heart dayglo eyesA city lit by firefliesThey're advertising in the skiesFor people like us And I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the ground.... Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights Don't look before you laughLook ugly in a photographFlash bulbs purple irisesThe camera can't see I've seen you walk unafraidI've seen you in the clothes you madeCan you see the beauty inside of me?What happened to the beauty I had inside of me And I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the ground Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights Time... timeWon't leave me as I amBut time won't take the boy out of this man Oh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights The more you know the less you feelSome pray for others stealBlessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily
