This wasn't supposed to happen,
I was happy by myself.
Accidently, you seduced me,
I'm in love again.
I lie in my bed,
Totally still,
My eyes wide open.
I'm in rapture.
I don't believe this,
I'm in love again!
This wasn't
Supposed to happen,
I've been hit
With your charm.
How could you do this
To me?
I'm in love
Again...
I lie in my bed,
Totally still,
My eyes wide open.
I'm in rapture.
I don't believe this,
I'm in love again...
This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!
A small story which never happened
I said ouch! This really hurts...
That can't be this has been
Practised for millions of years
Therefore we are
Yes, but I, I'm a boy.
A small story which always happens
I said ouch! This really hurts...
This could well be
But this has
Been practised for millions of years,
Therefore we are
Yes, but, you're a girl!
I lie in my bed,
Totally still,
My eyes wide open.
I'm in rapture.
I don't believe this,
I'm in love
Again...
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I lie in my bed,
Totally still,
My eyes wide open.
I'm in rapture.
(rapture)
You've put a seed inside me,
(oh)
And while you're away,
(see...)
It's growing silently,
(to be a life)
Starts in my stomach.
Embraces my insides,
(in time..)
And about to reach my heart.
This wasn't supposed to happen!
This wasn't supposed to happen!
This really hurts!

If I only had time
Only time

So much to do
If I only had time, if I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time they'd be mine

Time like the wind
Those are hurrying by and the hours just fly
Where to begin
There are mountains I'd climb, if I'd time

Since I met you I've glored

Life really is too short, lovin' you
So many things we could make true
A whole century isn't enough to satisfy me

So much to do
If I only had time, if I only had time
Dreams to pursue
If I only had time they'd be mine

Mmm, if I only had time
Only time, mmm

Farah, now that you're here, can you tell me 
Exactly how I should have done 
Farah, drives with her eyes closed 
Do you ever inflict unwanted memories 

I know you and I know it won't take you long 
To make me smile 
Farah, angelic girl I'll have 
You know it's you and me potentially 

Farah, don't pull the carpet from under me 
Indifference is killing me 
Am I wry? Oh my! Fallacy! 
Fallacy in my words am I wry 

I know you and I know you're not afraid 
To say the least 
Diamond ring diamond ring 
But you can't find it 

Cold is the night

The sun is shining
We should be making hay
But we're dead from the waist down
Like in Californ-i-a
Victory is empty
There are lessons in defeat
But we're dead from the waist down
We are sleeping on our feet
We stole the songs from birds in trees
Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet
We chose to court and flatter greed
Ego-disposability
I caught a glimpse and it's not me
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Or else you're done for
When we're dead from the waist down
There's no contracts binding
No bad scene beyond repair
But when you're dead from the waist down
You're too far gone to even care
We stole the songs from birds in trees
Bought us time on easy street
Now our paths, they never meet
We chose to court and flatter greed
Ego-disposability
I caught a glimpse and it's not me
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Or else we're done for
When you're dead from the waist down
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Make hay not war
Or else we're done for
When you're dead from the waist down
When you're dead from the waist down
Dead from the waist down
Dead from the waist down

You shouldn't have to sell your soul

That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy

And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice

Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
E non avrei, non avrei nulla da dirti
Perchè tu sai molte più cose di me

Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico
Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no

Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te


Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico
Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no

Non ho l'età, non ho l'età per amarti
Non ho l'età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore... per te.
