On Holiday 02:35
On Holiday snowed in at the corporate retreat all they had left was the honeymoon suite now the joke's complete a heart-shaped bed that laughs with me alone go or you'll never know if you'd go too far like just another lover on holiday and no one's gonna know who you are you're just another lover on holiday just on holiday eight o'clock the hotel bar's loud the senior sales department took control of the crowd i need to get out and find a better place to hide my face downtown go or you'll never know if you'd go too far like just another lover on holiday and no one's gonna know who you are you're just another lover on holiday just on holiday i never wanted more than just a Singapore sling or two but it's not every day that someone looks at me the way you do my mind got erased when your hand touched my face did I hear myself say let's go or we'll never know if we'd go too far like just some other lovers on holiday and no one's gonna know who we are we're just some other lovers on holiday just on holiday

New Earth 03:00
New Earth the sunset looked magnificent cranberries to peaches and tangerines they say it's just pollution but let the polar ice caps drift and drive your hybrid off a cliff they've found a new solution pack your things and say goodbye we're going to get another try on new earth new earth new earth to say we're reaping what we sow is so twenty light years ago to hell with consequences forget the way we used to feel we'll build a Brave New World of steel a land of walls and fences pack your things and say goodnight we're traveling at the speed of light to new earth new earth let's line the streets to point and shoot a million aresol can salute to new earth new earth

Alive (But Barely Breathing) once into it i don't ever want to quit but you know very well that this can't go on okay i admit i shouldn't have ever started it but once pressed to my lips all hope was gone alive but barely breathing your smile is so deceiving give me a lie to keep believing or show me the only thing that never dies the spark ignites the flame the ending's always just the same what makes me so anxious when you're not around if things aren't working out i just can't seem to do without this one dirty habit you're hard to put down alive but barely breathing your smile is so deceiving give me a lie to keep believing or show me the only thing that never dies i'm sorry that's how i am in like a lion, out like a lamb alive but barely breathing you're smile is so deceiving give me a lie to keep believing or show me the only thing show me the only thing show me the only thing that never dies

In Love With A Broken Heart tomorrow's just another day where i'll still want the girl who got away and maybe she was something real i wasted every chance to close the deal i'm in love with a broken heart addicted to a second start without some work it's not a work of art i'm in love with a broken heart i've taken it one step at a time hoping that you might keep me in mind and good things come to those who wait unless you learn the lessons way too late i'm in love with a broken heart addicted to a second start without some work it's not a work of art it's not a life until it falls apart i'm in love with a broken heart addicted to a second start without some work it's not a work of art i'm in love with a broken.. record that you threw at me it's melancholy melody i'm in love with a broken promise that we'd never call it quits maybe we should admit i'm in love with a broken heart.. addicted to a second start without some work it's not a work of art it's not a life until it falls apart i'm in love with a broken heart addicted to a second start without some work it's not a work of art i'm in love with a broken heart

Scratch Ticket I've tried making it the hard way it gets harder every year i cried me a river and floated downstream on my tears i want just enough, i'm not asking for much just a brass ring that i can touch scratch ticket take me away from here scratch ticket i've got just enough for two of you and beer scratch ticket i'm so broke and broken down scratch ticket come on and turn my luck around turn my luck around the landlord's come a-knockin' so i'm pretending i'm not home and there's so many debts that i don't dare pick up the phone i'm out of friends, i'm out of time i'm on my way to being out of my mind scratch ticket take me away from here scratch ticket i've got just enough for two of you and beer scratch ticket i'm so broke and broken down scratch ticket come on and turn my luck into lucky three lemon, lemon lucky me at least lady luck, she had the decency to give me just another chance to buy a scratch ticket take me away from here scratch ticket i've got just enough for two of you and beer scratch ticket i'm so broke and broken down scratch ticket come on and turn my luck around turn my luck around turn my luck around turn my luck around

To All You Guys to all you guys of a menacing size who made me feel invisible with your lies to all you guys i want you to know i've found a way to rise to all you jocks who broke my balls and pushed me down in all those halls to all you guys i want you to know you won't make me fall maybe you weren't man enough for dad maybe you feel better when you make us all look bad to girls in school who were too cool to be seen with such a fool to all you girls, i want you to know you didn't rule to all the geeks and assorted freaks who had to stay home from school for weeks to all you freaks i want you to know how much your silence speaks maybe you weren't man enough for dad maybe you feel better when you make us all look bad to the popular kid who stood up and said let's give him half a chance to be heard to that kid, i want you to know i won't forget what you did

Running In Place i'm not afraid to say i love you anymore were those the words you waited for there was a time three words could make all the difference in the world it's not enough to save us anymore if you've got something to say please say it to my face don't hold me hostage in a shallow embrace i know i could eat my words no matter how they taste we just can't keep on running in place the way your wit and grace could make me insecure you raised my pulse and temperature these hands were trembling when they reached to pull you in the first kiss, the second i was sure if you've got something to say please say it to my face don't hold me hostage in a shallow embrace i know i could eat my words no matter how they taste we just can't keep on running in place

She Needs Air it's so hard watching you turn pale that i might do anything, just give me a sign i'd tend to your vine but it takes more than water and light to make everything alright she needs air nothing seems to be working and i want to blame myself, but what do i know about making things grow 'cause it takes more than water and light to make everything all right she needs air i don't know just what's shaken you but whatever it was will be taking you more than water and light to make everything alright she needs air

Sugar And Cream everything i hate is starting to percolate and you want to stir me up put some sweetness in my cup even if i thought i could change my mind, my thoughts would feel strange sugar and cream you live in a dream don't make it sweeter than i'll ever be sugar and cream you live in a dream sugar and cream you gave me some time to brew but i still don't know what to do i know that you need me au lait but i can't serve it up that way and i've got a childish streak you don't deserve it mild and weak like sugar and cream you live in a dream don't make it sweeter than i'll ever be sugar and cream you live in a dream that you and i both know ain't coming true or maybe i just don't try as hard as you and if i stayed, i'd drag you down like dead-weight on your team sugar and cream you live in a dream don't make it sweeter than i'll ever be sugar and cream you live in a dream sugar and cream
