02 - Everybody's Changing

You say you wander your own land

But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking

And I can see the pain in your eyes

Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time



Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here

And soon you will disappear

Fading into beautiful light

Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game

I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm

Trying to make a move just to stay in the game



I try to stay awake and remember my name

But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Oh, everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

03 - Put it Behind You

Times goes by at such a pace

It's funny how it's easy to forget her face

You hide the cracks, the facts will find you

Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now

You better put it behind you now

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to

You better put it behind you now

All the things you took for granted

Hit you like a bullet in the gut

You can't get up

Well are you gonna even try

Cos if you never even try

Time will pass you by

You better put it behind you now

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better put it behind you now

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better do what's best for you

Don't care what she said and (Better put it behind you now, better put it behind you now)

Only in your head (Hold on, hold on to)

Time will help you out (Better put it behind you now, you better put it behind you now)

Still you don't see how (Hold on, hold on to)

You better put it behind you now

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to

You better do what's best for you

04 - Nothing in My Way

A turning tide

Lovers at a great divide

Why d'you laugh

When I know that you hurt inside

And why d'you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay

So there's nothing left to say

And why d'you lie

When you wanna die, when you hurt inside

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say

A tell-tale sign

You don't know where to draw the line

And why d'you say

It's just another day, nothing in my way

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay

So there's nothing left to say

And why d'you lie

When you wanna die, when you hurt inside

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul,
you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul,
you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul,
it seems to me that you're having such a nice time

You're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul,
you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul,
you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul,
it seems to me that you're having such a nice time

You're having such a nice time

05 - We Might As Well Be Strangers

I don't know your face no more

Or feel your touch that I adore

I don't know your face no more

It's just a place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a different world

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days

We're strangers in an empty space

I don't understand your heart

It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a another time

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well be strangers

Be strangers

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know

06 - Bend and Break

When you, when you forget your name

When old faces all look the same

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

Bitter and hardened heart

Aching waiting for life to start

Meet me in the morning when you wake up

Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

If only I don't bend and break

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

I'll meet you on the other side

I'll meet you in the light

If only I don't suffocate

I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

07 - Can't Stop Now

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stuck here dithering around

Though I know I said I'd wait around till you need me

But I have to go, I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now

I've got troubles of my own

Cause I'm short on time

I'm lonely and I'm
too tired to talk

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning

While I've been stuck here withering away

Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind

But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say

That I can't stop now

I've got troubles of my own

Cause I'm short on time

I'm lonely and I'm
too tired to talk

To no one back home

I've got troubles of my own

And I can't slow down

For no one in town

And I can't stop now

And I can't slow down

For no one in town

And I can't stop now

For no one

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

The motion keeps my heart running

08 - Try Again

I fell asleep, on a late night train

I missed my stop, and I went round again

Why would I, wanna see you now

To fix it up, make it up somehow

Baby I'll, try again, try again

Baby I die, every night, every time

What I was isn't what I am

I'd change back, but I don't know if I can

Still I'll try, try again, try again

Baby I die, every night, every time

But I was made the way I am

I'm not a stone, I'm just a man

Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine

Rip back the time that we've been wasting

God I wish you could see me now

You'd pick me up, and you'd sort me out

Baby I'll, try again, try again

Baby I die, every night, every time

09 - Your Eyes Open

Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

And it's a long time since your heart was frozen

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know

That it's a lonely place that you have run to

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

And it's a lonely end that you will come to

Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore

For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know

For a moment your eyes open and you know

All the things I ever wanted you to know

I don't know you, and I don't want to

Till the moment your eyes open and you know

10 - The Frog Prince

An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again

A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky

"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne

And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild

Inherit the earth, while
Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far
From the person you are

Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you

Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know

You will lie in a deep sleep

That's when
Your prince's crown

Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold

You've wandered so far
From the person you are

Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

11 - Hamburg Song

I don't wanna be adored

Don't wanna be first in line

Or make myself heard

I'd like to bring a little light

To shine a light on your life

To make you feel loved

No, don't wanna be the only one you know

I wanna be the place you call home

I lay myself down

To make it so, but you don't want to know

I give much more

Than I'd ever ask for

Will you see me in the end

Or is it just a waste of time

Trying to be your friend

Just shine, shine, shine

Shine a little light

Shine a light on my life

Warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all

You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down

To make it so, but you don't want to know

You take much more

Than I'd ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day

Do you think that you could see your way

To lay yourself down

And make it so, but you don't want to know

You take much more

Than I'd ever ask for

12 - Fly to Me

When I am an old man

And live by the sea

Will all your thoughts fly to me

When I am far away from the places we've known

Will all your love bring me home

Bring me home

13 - Leaving So Soon

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

You must think I'm a fool

So prosaic and awkward and all

D'you think you've got me down

D'you think I've never been out of this town

Do I seem too eager to please to you now

You don't know me at all

I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now

No I'm not like you now

Now you're here

I bet you're wishing you could disappear

I'm trying to be kind

I get the feeling you're just killing time

You look down on me

Don't you look down on me now

You don't know me at all

A slap in the face

In the face for you now

Just might do now

You're leaving so soon

Never had a chance to bloom

But you were so quick

To change your tune

Don't look back

If I'm a weight around your neck

Cos if you don't need me

I don't need you

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

Leaving so soon, soon

Leaving, leaving so, soon

You're leaving so soon

Never had a chance to bloom

But you were so quick

To change your tune

Don't look back

If I'm a weight around your neck

Cos if you don't need me

I don't need you

Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah!

14 - This is the Last Time

This is the last time

That I will say these words

I remember the first time

The first of many lies

Sweep it into the corner

Or hide it under the bed

Say these things they go away

But they never do

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind

This is the last time

That I will show my face

One last tender lie

Then I'm out of this place

So tread it into the carpet

Or hide it under the stairs

Say that some things never die

Well I tried and I tried

Something I wasn't sure of

But I was in the middle of

Something I forget now

But I've seen too little of

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I no I don't mind

The last time

You fall on me for anything you like

Your one last line

You fall on me for anything you like

And years make everything alright

You fall on me for anything you like

And I know I don't mind

15 - An Irish Airman Foresees His Death

I know that I shall meet my fate

Somewhere among the clouds above

Those that I fight I do not hate

Those that I guard I do not love

My country is Kiltartan Cross

My countrymen Kiltartan's poor

No likely end could bring them loss

Or leave them happier than before

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight

Nor public men, nor cheering crowds

A lonely impulse of delight

Drove to this tumult in the clouds

I balanced all, brought all to mind

The years to come seemed waste of breath

A waste of breath the years behind

In balance with this life, this death

16 - A Bad Dream

Why do I have to fly
Over every town, up and down the line

I'll die in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side

I was fighting
But I just feel too tired

To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Where will I meet my fate
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate

And when will I meet my end
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side

I was fighting
But I just feel too tired

To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side

But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now

Where do we go
I don't even know

My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days

And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side

I was fighting
But I just feel too tired

To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side

But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now

17 - Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of

Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing where have you gone

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

So why don't we go

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know

Somewhere only we know

18 - Is it Any Wonder

I, I always thought that I knew

I'd always have the right to

Be living in the kingdom of the good and true

And so on, but now I think I was wrong

And you were laughing along

And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Sometimes

It's hard to know where I stand

It's hard to know where I am

Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand

But sometimes

I get the feeling that I'm

Stranded in the wrong time

Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a sound bite

Is it any wonder that I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Oh, these days, after all the misery you made

Is it any wonder that I feel afraid

Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed

Nothing left beside this old cathedral

Just the sad lonely spires

How do you make it right

Oh, but you try

Is it any wonder I'm tired

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Oh, these days, after all the misery you made

Is it any wonder that I feel afraid

Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed

19 - Broken Toy

I think you know

Because it's old news

The people you love

Are hard to find

So I think if I

Were in your shoes

I would be kind

I look out for you

Come rain, come shine

What good does it do

I guess I'm a toy that is broken

I guess we're just older now

I want to stay

Another season

See summer upon

This sorry land

So don't dust off your gun

Without a reason

You understand

I look out for you

Come rain, come shine

What good does it do

I guess I'm a toy that is broken

I guess we're just older now

Who says the river can't leave its waters

Who says you walk in a line

Who says the city can change its borders

Who says you're mine

I look out for you

Come rain, come shine

What good does it do

I guess I'm a record you're tired of

I guess we're just older now

I guess I'm a toy that is broken

I guess we're just older now

20 - Atlantic

I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face

I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises

I don't want to be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't want to be old and feel afraid

I don't want to be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't want to be old and feel afraid

And if I need anything at all

I need a place that's hidden in the deep

Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep

And all the world is broken

I need a place where I can make my bed

A lover's lap where I can lay my head

'Cause now the room is spinning

The day's beginning

21 - Crystal Ball

Who is the man I see

Where I'm supposed to be

I lost my heart, I buried it too deep

Under the iron sea

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Lines ever more unclear

Not sure I'm even here

The more I look the more I think that I'm

Starting to disappear

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

I don't know where I am

And I don't really care

I look myself in the eye

There's no-one there

I fall upon the earth

I call upon the air

But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

22 - Bedshaped

Many's the time I ran with you down

The rainy roads of our old town

Many the lives we lived in each day

And buried altogether

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know

What do I know

I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down

And I've fallen by the wayside now

And I don't understand the same things as you

But I do

Don't laugh at me

Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes

And on your own

Bedshaped

And legs of stone

You'll knock on my door

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know

What do I know

I know!

And up we'll go

In white light

I don't think so

But what do I know

What do I know

I know!

Thanks for watching.
I'll hope you've enjoyed my subtitles.
