[boyshopet]

I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more

Did you get what you want? Do you know what it is? Do you care? Is he better than me? Was it your place or his? Who was there? Did you think it was wrong? Do you find that it’s worse than it was? Has it gone on too long? Do you mind that it hurts me? Because You’re breaking my heart

I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more You’re breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code or just filling in time? Was that all? So then why’d you go back to the scene of the crime? Did he call? Shall I take further blame or another assault on how it was Then we’ll get to the fact that it’s always my fault just because You’re breaking my heart

I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more You’re breaking my heart I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more You’re breaking my heart

Don’t know what you want Don’t know what you want

It’s alright

Dictation being forced in Afghanistan Revolution in South Africa taking a stand People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression I hope it’s gonna be alright ‘cause the music plays forever (For it goes on and on and on and on) I hope it’s gonna be alright

(Alright Alright Alright Alright)

Forests falling at a desperate pace The earth is dying and desert taking its place People under pressure on the brink of starvation I hope it’s gonna be alright

Generations will come and go but there’s one thing for sure Music is our life’s foundation and shall succeed all the nations to come I hope it’s gonna be alright ‘cause the music plays forever (For it goes on and on and on and on…) I hope it’s gonna be alright (On and on and on…) ‘Cause the music plays forever (For it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on)

The year three thousand may still come to pass but the music shall last I can hear it on a timeless wavelength never dissipating but giving us strength (It’s alright) I hope it’s gonna be alright (Alright Alright Alright Alright)

“It’s a sin” is released.

[boyshopet]

It’s a sin

When I look back upon my life it’s always with a sense of shame I’ve always been the one to blame For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin It’s a sin Everything I’ve ever done Everything I ever do Every place I’ve ever been Everywhere I’m going to It’s a sin

At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought and word and deed They didn’t quite succeed For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin It’s a sin Everything I’ve ever done Everything I ever do Every place I’ve ever been Everywhere I’m going to It’s a sin

Father forgive me I tried not to do it Turned over a new leaf then tore right through it Whatever you taught me I didn’t believe it Father you fought me ‘cause I didn’t care and I still don’t understand

So I look back upon my life forever with a sense of shame I’ve always been the one to blame For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin It’s a sin Everything I’ve ever done Everything I ever do Every place I’ve ever been Everywhere I’m going to I It’s a sin

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

“Can you forgive her?” is released.

[boyshopet]

Can you forgive her?

Another night with open eyes too late to sleep, too soon to rise You’re short of breath, is it a heart attack? Hot and feverish you face the fact you’re in love and it feels like shame because she’s gone and made a fool of you in public again You’re in love and it feels like pain because you know there’s too much truth in everything she claims

So ask yourself now Can you forgive her if she wants you to? Ask yourself Can you even deliver what she demands of you?

You drift into the strangest dreams of youthful follies and changing teams Admit you’re wrong, oh, no, not yet Then you wake up and remember that you can’t forget she’s made you some kind of laughing stock because you dance to disco and you don’t like rock She made fun of you and even in bed said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead

So ask yourself now Can you forgive her if she begs you to? Ask yourself Can you even deliver what she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that’s childish, so childish

Remember when you were more easily led behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed Trembling as your dreams came true you looked right into those blue eyes and knew it was love and now you can’t pretend you’ve forgotten all the promises of that first friend It’s bad enough she knows how you feel but she’s not prepared to share you with a memory

So ask yourself now Can you forgive her if she begs you to? Ask yourself Can you even deliver what she demands of you? Ask yourself now Can you forgive her if she begs you to? And ask yourself Can you even deliver what she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that’s childish, so childish

I’m with Stupid

Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid

See you on the TV Call you every day Fly across the ocean Just to let you get your way No one understands me Where I’m coming from Why would I be with someone who’s obviously so dumb? Love comes Love grows every time you rise to meet me take my hand to greet me Love comes Love grows and power can give a man much more than anybody knows

Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid

Before we ever met I thought like everybody did you were just a moron a billion-dollar kid You flew up all the way like a hawk chasing a dove I never thought that I would be a sacrifice in love It comes It grows and now we’re tied together everybody knows

Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid

Is stupid really stupid or a different kind of smart? Do we really have a relationship so special in your heart?

Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid

I have to ask myself like any lover might: Have you made a fool of me? Are you not Mr Right? You grin I pose It’s not about sincerity Everybody knows

Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Oh-oh, I’m with Stupid Is stupid really stupid or a different kind of smart? That’s how you stole my heart I’m with Stupid
