Iggy

Iggy walked around the world looking for fun,

The things he had done,

the reason to run.

Every time he turned to look she was there,

She sat there and stared,

But he didn’t care

Oh… It was a big mistake

Oh… It was a big mistake

Oh… It was a big mistake she made

And she’s never going to make it again

When he turned the clock back an hour,

He thought he was late,

He thought that the days,

were better that way,

Trying to be the man of the hour,

But he was delayed,

He told them his name,

And they told him to wait.

Oh… It was a big mistake,

Oh… It was a big mistake,

Oh… It was a big mistake she made,

And she’s never going to make it again,

Oh… It was a big mistake,

Oh… It was a big mistake,

Oh… It was a big mistake she made,

And she’s never going to make it again,

No she’s never going to make it again,

No she’s never going to make it again,

No she’s never going to make it again.

Floating Away

You sit on a ship, You’re floating away

And what can I say?

The island you left will still be there when you’re back.

So close it seems,

So close to your heart,

But a million words could tear us apart.

Although the memories they hold us together,

The string could break forever.

They’re watching over you,

Till the end of your days

They’re watching over you,

‘Cause it’s better that way.

They’re watching over you,

Till the end of your days

They’re watching over you,

‘Cause it’s better that way.

They’re watching over you,

Till the end of your days

They’re watching over you,

‘Cause it’s better that way.

Doorsteps

Half the time she never seemed to realize,

Smiles that she hid behind her eyes.

Most of all he didn’t want to compromise,

The subtle folds of his disguise.

Called him up without a lot of confidence,

Asked him to come over when he could,

He didn’t know if he wanted to,

Told her that he wouldn’t go.

Hello she said,

Hello my friend,

Hello again.

But she never really knew

Or she never really cared.

Falling…

Just a few days to grow apart,

The laughter seemed to fade from her soul.

At the end there’s nothing left to say,

To stay or leave?

It’s all the same.

Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling out of love,
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling out of love.

A Simple Chain Reaction

And I know you’re not feeling good,

Feeling good tonight.

And what more can I do,

To make you feel alright?

Wont let temptation bring me down,

Not a sound,

I think I can change,

Such simple chain reaction,

So hard not to see,

It’s a one way interaction,

We all have our needs,

So just wait and see.

And we can stay out late every night,

If it makes you feel alright,

Or stay at home and watch your soaps on TV,

If it makes you feel alright.

Don’t hesitate that could bring you down,

Bring you down,

I think I can change,

I think I can change,

Such simple chain reaction,

So hard not to see,

It’s a one way interaction,

We all have our needs,

So do as you please.

Don’t hesitate that could bring you down,

Bring you down,

I think I can change,

I think I can change,

Such simple chain reaction,

So hard not to see,

It’s a one way interaction,

We all have our needs,

So do as you please.

Such simple chain reaction,

So hard not to see,

Sweet Jemima

Woke up this morning,

Thinking of you,

Where did you go?

And what did you do?

I tried to walk with you but I couldn’t,

It just wasn’t my way.

Calling your name,

Hoping that you will hear,

Where should we go?

It’s never been so clear.

I tried to talk to you but I couldn’t,

You weren’t quite like anyone else.

Sweet Jemima,

Won’t you come back to me,

Sweet Jemima,

Won’t you call my name please.

Woke up this morning,

Thinking of you,

Where did you go?

Oh what did I do?

I tried to talk to you but I couldn’t

You reminded me of someone else.

Sweet Jemima, (sweet jemima please)

Won’t you come back to me, (come back to me)

Sweet Jemima, (sweet jemima please)

Won’t you call my name please, (can’t you call me please)

And wont you come back to me, (come back to me)

Wont you come back to me, (come back to me)

Wont you come back to me.

One day I’ll find you,

Unless I lose my way.

The Angel and the Joker

Tried to meet you at the corner,

But you were on the other side,

Looking for something else,

Or maybe the joker was blind.

Waiting for the day to come clean,

When my soul was more alive,

To lead you my way could be wrong,

But the joker isn’t laughing,

No, he’s not having fun.

It’s my last chance,

It’s my last chance.

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue,

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue.

A song so sweet for lying by the sea,

My final stance it leaves me naked,

I’m tired of holding, holding my tongue.

But the joker isn’t laughing,

no he’s not having fun.

It’s my last chance,

It’s my last chance.

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue,

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue.

Angel, angel, angel,

My angel ‘s blue.

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue,

Angel, my angel, my angel ‘s blue.

My angel ‘s blu.

NW-SW

The sun climbs softly in the sky,

The clouds they’re slowly passing by,

No time to wave goodbye,

No time to ask the reason why.

Waiting for the shimmer, for the glimmer, of your smile.

The crowds they watch as we collide,

Another chance to tell a lie,

No one turns to see you cry,

No one asks the reason why.

Waiting for the glimmer, for the shimmer, of your smile.

Waiting for the glimmer, for the shimmer, of your smile.

Waiting for the shimmer, for the glimmer, of your smile.

Waiting for the glimmer, for the shimmer, of your smile.

Beautiful & Cool

Sometimes you gotta be divided,

Sometimes you just gotta know,

Sometimes you gotta cut your losses,

Or say that everything goes.

An ego trip with an empty twist,

President for a while,

Next minute she realized,

That the triple sec cramped her style.

But anyway, she’s gonna get through,

‘Cause she’s beautiful and cool.

And someone’s gonna get through to you.

Your fat smile, your wicked eyes,

Danced upon her soul,

Your fatal prejudice,

Broke another smile,

Just one more chance I’ll give you,

Before the door it closes,

I freak out at your smile,

And the bad thoughts behind.

I thought you knew,

I thought you could,

I thought you would,

I thought you’d wait for minute,

Talk for a minute.

No, no, no.

But anyway, she’s gonna get through,

‘Cause she’s beautiful and cool.

And someone’s gonna get through to you.

But anyway, she’s gonna get through,

‘Cause she’s beautiful and cool.

And someone’s gonna get through to you.

All Over

Sometimes the apple falls far from the tree,

This time it fell on me,

I’m way out of touch, I can tell that much,

Maybe I’ll just do as I please.

Sitting in the corner,

Waiting for an exchange,

If you’re coming down,

You can hear me say.

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s over now.

The singles, the lovers, the one night stands,

Turn to stare me down,

The devil sits smoking, he’s quietly hoping,

Hoping to bring me down.

Way down in the south,

Dancing in the rain,

If you’re coming down,

You can hear me say.

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s over now.

It’s a pleasant feeling hat I can’t ignore,

It’s a pleasant feeling - I want more.

That pleasant feeling when you’re coming down.

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s over now.

Yeah!

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s all over,

It’s over now.

Down in Mexico

I’m going down to Mexico,

Where no one knows my name,

I’m gonna drink tequila down in Mexico,

I’m gonna find my little piece of fame.

I never knew, I always knew you would drive me crazy,

Anyway, I think that you are just too lazy.

Running way, I got nothing to do with my time, you turned me down,

Running away, I’m running away, I’m running.

I’m going down to Mexico,

Where no one knows my name,

I’m gonna drink champagne down in Mexico,

I’m gonna find my little piece of fame.

Running away, I’m running away, I’m running.

I’m going down to Mexico,

Where no one knows my name,

I’m gonna drink champagne down in Mexico,

I’m gonna find my little piece of fame,

Where no one knows my name,

Oh Down, down, in Mexico,

That’s where I’m gonna go,

Down in Mexico.

So familiar

I remember when I walked that night,

Tried so hard to find my inner side,

Tried so hard to find the reason why,

I could never leave those tears behind.

Every time that I look for you,

Something new that I gotta prove,

Sit in silence, read my mind,

Somehow know that you’re gonna lie.

I tried so hard,

It was an honest mistake,

I tried so hard,

Now there’s nothing left to say.

Just ‘cause I crawl back to your door,

It doesn’t mean I can take it anymore,

After all it sounds so familiar,

You heard it all before cause I told you over and over again.

I remember when we walked that night,

Tried so hard to find our inner side,

Tried so hard to find the reason why,

We could never leave our tears behind,

Every time that I look for you,

Something new that you have to prove,

Sit in silence and read my mind,

Somehow know that you’re gonna lie.

I tried so hard,

It was an honest mistake,

I tried so hard,

Now there’s nothing left to say.

Because I crawl back to your door,

It doesn’t mean I can take it anymore,

After all it sounds so familiar,

You heard it all before cause I told you over and over again.
