      Lyrics

      This is the last song

      This is the last song I’ll sing for you

      This is the last song

      This is the last song I can give you

      The roaring city sleeps

      Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets

      And no one comes for free

      In this place where the angels sleep

      This is the last song

      My eyes are open wonder to this

      As you hold the secrets

      I count the minutes off so perfectly

      The shards of broken glass

      Sing the strains of a sad old tune

      We’ve made it at last

      But what we had is lost inside our past

      This is the last song

      Could you find away across me

      To forgive and forget me

      To appease and relent me

      To deceive and detect me

      To understand and release me

      To the dawn

      This is the last song

      Lyrics

      Love is a sentimental heart

      Life is a sentimental way

      Spy the fragile heart so cursed

      As he walks across this earth

      I’m disconnected by your smile

      Disconnect a million miles

      And what you promised me

      I hope will set you free

      I’m disconnected by your smile

      And all I gave to you is lost

      And all you took from me is lost

      Black wings carry me so high

      Up to meet you in the sky

      I’m disconnected by your smile

      Disconnect a million miles

      And what you promised me

      I hope will set you free

      I’m disconnected by your smile

      Wishing you were real to me

      Wishing I could make believe

      I’ll take my secrets to the grave

      Safely held beneath the waves

      Always knew I couldn’t save

      Always knew I couldn’t save you

      Lyrics

      You’re an empty promise

      You’re an easy chair

      You’re the gods forces

      Struck down somewhere

      You’re a secret noticed

      You’re a mystery sky

      You’re a wish floating

      Up to the night

      Medellia of my eyes

      You’re the emptiness of I

      You’re the reason that I write

      And if you say you will

      I would love you still

      And if I could

      I’d throw away this world

      I’d dress you all in pearls

      I’d give you what you wanted

      You’re all I notice

      In a crowded room

      Your vacant motives

      Unmoved, revealed

      Medellia of my eyes

      You’re the emptiness of I

      You’re the reason that I drive

      And if you say you will

      I would love you still

      And if I just could

      Be anything for you

      Just anyone at all

      Anything that mattered, washed out

      You’re the silly reasons

      In a goldfish laugh

      You’re the ageless seasons

      At rest, at last

      Lyrics

      (JI=James Iha, NG=Nina Gordon (of Veruca Salt), J+N=both)
      JI: You should know that I love you
      We should love like lovers do
      And I can’t help but fall for you
      Ah honey I’m just a fool
      Now you know
      NG: Darling, I’ll never be true
      You see, for so long I was blue
      JI: (I’m not the only one)
      NG: And if I hurt, then you will, too
      Ah honey I always lose
      Now you know
      J+N: Lover, when will you?
      JI: I’m so afraid that no one cares
      J+N: Lover, can’t find you
      JI: I swear to God don’t leave me here
      J+N: Now you know
      J+N: Oh, you know that it can’t be
      But no one else here really means
      JI: (Anything to me)
      J+N: If you hurt inside
      If you confide in me again
      NG: Since you ran away
      JI: Hold me now, tell me how
      Love is ours
      J+N: Lover, when will you?
      I’m so afraid that no one cares
      Lover, can’t find you
      And no one knows what brings us here
      Lover
      JI: Hold me now
      NG: Hold me now
      JI: Tell me how
      J+N: Love is ours

      Lyrics

      So here we are

      True superstars

      We’re so real from afar and now

      Now you’re with us now

      And the mouths of babes sing revolution

      And the mouths of babes scream disillusion

      You can’t break what’s already broken

      Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

      The “dream” was a sham

      For saving what you can’t

      And now they’re me but I’m not them

      I am you and you are me

      It’s in the ways I walk thru fire

      It’s in the ways of my desire

      And when I said that you’re no good

      What I meant was I wish you could

      Be there forever

      Be young forever

      I wish you were there

      So now I bid farewell

      Beyond the bounds of hell

      And now you’ll swear you knew us well

      Well you can never tell

      And the mouths of babes sing revolution

      And the mouths of babes scream disillusion

      You can’t break what’s already broken

      Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

      Lyrics

      A livewire moves slow

      A transformer always knows

      The score is four

      Leaves you hanging on the floor

      For more and less and more of the blame

      And she’s tired

      And she’s sick of the same old shit

      It’s just more of the same old same

      I know she wants more and more and more to witness

      To lay down and bear true

      A cherry onion firefly

      Tastes sweet and white

      As you are blue

      Knows just what she wants to do

      With you below the silver skies

      Don’t hate her because she’s undecided

      And she’s tired

      And she’s sick of the same old shit

      It’s just more of the same old same

      I know she wants more and more and more to stomach

      In honor of her youth

      She’s not sorry she’s happy

      Sorry she’s happy

      She’s not sorry she’s happy

      Sorry she’s happy as a turtle

      She’s a real live transformer

      Additional Info: "Started as an album song until the very last moment, when Mellon Collies was cut from 31 to 28 songs, this is an interesting interpretation of what had essentially been an acoustic song. Flood and I tried about four different versions before settling on this one [see Queen's Hot Space album]. One version that I liked was just me and a distorted guitar. But in the end this version won, only to be mixed into eternal obscurity as a B-side." -BC (Guitar World 1/97)

      Lyrics

      I don’t look in the mirror

      I don’t like what I see staring back at me

      Everything is clearer

      I’ll never see what you see

      It’s not me

      So beautiful and free

      I’ll never be what you need

      I can’t help it at all

      I was born so beautiful

      But now I’m ugly

      And I rot in my skin

      As a piece of me dies everyday

      I know I’m nothing

      I know there’s nothing I can say

      To change

      The judgement in their ways

      I’ll never be what you need

      I can’t help it at all

      My love was so beautiful

      But now I’m ugly

      Yeah…

      I’m good enough, but I don’t care

      I’m good enough, but I’m not there

      I’m good enough, but I don’t care

      The sun is out, but I’m not there

      (I can go anywhere) I’m good enough, but I don’t care (…somewhere)

      (I can go anywhere) The sun is out, but I’m not there (…somewhere)

      (I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)

      (I can go anywhere) I’m good enough (…somewhere)

      I don’t look in the mirror

      I don’t like what I see staring back at me

      Everything is clearer

      I’ll never see what you see

      And I rot in my skin

      As a piece of me dies everyday

      I know I’m nothing

      Because I’m ugly

      Lyrics

      (Listen- Wanna just start it?…Ready, Flood?
      Yeah……1,2,3,4)
      Stay with me, I’ll set you free
      ‘Cause I can tell you once were pretty
      Rose so sad you’ve lost your petals
      Lost the luster off your tattle tales
      I need a love to help me find my way
      I need a strength that I can not betray
      I need a word to say what I can’t say
      I need a lover, lover
      I need a lover, lover
      What are we waiting for?
      What are we waiting for?
      Time has lost its hold on me
      Hatred sleeps inside my bones
      In the stillness of cool air
      All the boys have been left for dead
      ‘Cause we go where they fear to tread
      The beautiful one’s the one’s we’ll remember
      The precious one’s our greatest pretenders
      I need a love to help me find my way
      I need a strength that I cannot betray
      I need a word to say what I can’t say
      I need a lover, lover
      I need a lover, lover
      And if you lose yourself
      Could you take me, too?
      Could you rest inside the sleep?
      Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
      Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
      Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
      Stay with me, I’ll set you free from you…..
      I need a love…..

      Lyrics

      Life is so strange when you don’t know
      How can you tell where yore’ going to
      You can’t be sure of any situation
      Something could change and then you won’t know
      Ask yourself
      Where do we go from here
      It seems so all to near
      Just as far beyond as I can see
      I still don’t know what this all means to me
      Tell yourself
      I have nowhere to go
      I don’t know what to do
      And I don’t even know the time of day
      I guess it doesn’t matter any way
      Life is so strange
      Destination unknown
      When you don’t know
      Your destination
      Something could change
      It’s unknown
      And then you won’t know
      Destination unknown
      Life is so strange
      Destination unknown
      When you don’t know
      Your destination
      Something could change
      It’s unknown
      And then you won’t know
      Destination unknown
      You ask yourself
      When will my time come
      Has it all been said and done
      I know I’ll leave when it’s my time to go
      Till then I’ll carry on with what I know
      Life is so strange
      Destination unknown
      When you don’t know
      Your destination
      Something could change
      It’s unknown
      And then you won’t know
      Destination unknown
      Life is so strange
      Destination unknown
      When you don’t know
      Your destination
      And something could change
      It’s unknown
      And then you won’t know
      Destination unknown
      Life is so strange

      Lyrics

      When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no debutante

      You asked me what's my pleasure, "A movie or a measure"?

      I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming

      Dreaming is free

      I don't want to live on charity

      Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

      Reel to reel is living rarity

      People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming

      Feet feet: walking a two mile

      Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile

      I never met him, I'll never forget him

      Dream dream: even for a little while

      Dream dream: filling up an idle hour

      Fade away, radiate

      I sit by and watch the river flow

      I sit by and watch the traffic go

      Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and hold

      I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming

      Dreaming is free

      Lyrics

      Close your eyes
      Until the sunlight dies
      In your head a thousand stars
      Through the darkness you can see a light
      And if they steal your life
      Your heart is still mine
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
      I want to believe in you, dear
      On Sunday…
      There’s a life I hide
      Well I tried to disguise
      And I can take you a million miles away
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, you sing, a truth, there’s no other
      I want to believe in you, dear
      On Sunday I made amends
      For all my mistakes
      May God speed be with you
      Oooh…oooh…oooh…oooh
      And I…
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover
      I want to believe in you and I heard you
      Your song, you sing a truth, there’s no other
      I want to believe in you, dear
      Sunday
      Sunday
      I want to make amends
      For all my mistakes
      May God speed be with you

      Lyrics

      And I stumbled onto you

      As you stumbled over me

      And you say the fates were cruel

      For throwing us together

      I always loved you so

      Especially when you’d go

      All the world must know

      All the world must know

      That I loved you so

      It’s a pity we’re apart

      It’s a shame you broke my heart

      But I’ve got a new girlfriend

      She looks a lot like you dear

      No one could ever do dear

      All the world must know

      That I loved you so

      Especially when you’d go

      Especially when you’d go

      Especially when you’d go

      Away and leave me here

      All the world must know
