The Tension and the Spark
Darren Hayes
You will like my sense of humor
You will be addicted to my smile
Laughing all the while
And I will end each conversation
I will leave the room with upper hand
And you will understand
You will find my scent attractive
You will like my real, engaging eyes
And playful, childlike smile
You will find my style appealing
I will overpower you with wits
And I will be a hit
If only you'd run to me
If only you'd come to me
If only you'd relax upon your rules
And dare to be love's fool
If only you'd come for me
If only you'd run to me
If only you'd relax upon those rules
And dare to be love's fool
Waking up from a coma (tossing, turning)
Sweat has covered my body (my mouth felt dry)
My life flashing before me (nothing much to say)
Still it was so boring (did you hear me sing?)
Only I could adore you (the wind through the trees)
Silently barking orders (rushing up to me)
This is only beginning (don't anger the sea)
Oh, the wave's crashing higher and higher on me
Crash, crash, crash, crash
If only you'd relax upon your rules
And dare to be love's fool
If only you'd run to me
All the blinking lights, noise of eternity (if only you'd come to me)
All the sentences swirling inside of me (you will like my sense of humor)
Inside of me (and dare to be love's fool)
(If only you'd come to me)
I have censored my eyes, I get drawn through my ears (if only you'd run to me)
Redirected desire now
It comes out as tears (you will like my sense of humor)
You know, it comes out as tears (and dare to be love's fool)
You will like my sense of humor
You will like my sense of humor
Ego
The Tension and the Spark
Darren Hayes
I have been contemplating letting go
Of you ego
Thought I’d let you know
You’re getting old
It was so irritating saving face
When I fell from grace
I thought you would erase
Without a trace
But you stayed
But you remained
But you
It’s always about you
I have been quietly edging away
To keep the flames at bay
Make this puppy stay
To limit my use of
Personal pronouns are the death of me
See I just said 'me'
You’re an endless sea of vanity
It’s all for you babe
For you babe
For you
It’s always about you
I have been silently taking offence
And at great expense
As my feelings dent
I’m lickin' my scratches
It serves no purpose, doesn’t gratify
And you’re dissatisfied
And though you’re belly's full
There’s always more room for you babe
For you babe
For you
It’s always about you
Staind
Live in my head for just one day
I see myself and look away
The road is showing now on my face
Soon I'll disappear with
I'll disappear without a fucking trace
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away
I wish that I could disappear
Unzip my skin and leave it here
So I could be no one again
And never let nobody,
I'd let nobody
I'd let nobody in
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away
So now the walls are closing in
Because in life you sink or swim
Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head
Feel like a book that can't be,
A book that can't be,
A book that can't be read
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away

Governments elected nobody votes
Politically correct isn't that a joke?
We censor music then give children guns
On CNN
Still fightin' to death over Jerusalem
Four letter disease still makes us run
Can't comprehend that you can die from
Love
Can I start things over
And change your mind?
Can I sing a melody
Press rewind
Can I move your feet make your heart skip a beat
Can a simple tune flow through you?
When the music feels like this
When you lose control you gotta go with it
Ten feet high
Flyin' above the sky
Your problems don't exist
When music feels like this
No money left in Africa
Starvin' to death
In Bosnia we close our eyes and hide a nation cries
And In the West
TV Possessed and weight obsessed
The media dissects, infects
We think real life is reality TV
Can I have your attention
And press rewind
When the DJ spins
Will it change your mind?
Can I move your feet
Make your heart skip a beat
Can a piece of me
Flow through you?
When the music feels like this
When you lose control you gotta go with it
Ten feet high
Flying above the sky
Your problems don't exist
When music feels like this
When the music feels like this
DJ take control and grab a hold of me
Spin that wheel
Tell me how to feel
I like the shape I'm in
When music feels like this
Bringin' the beat back
Stompin' the floor
Dancin' like a booty never bounced before
Poppin' to the back beat
Up on the one
Smack Jack
Freakin' now you're overcome
When the music feels like this
When you lose control you gotta go with it
Ten feet high
Flying above the sky
Your problems don't exist
When music feels like this
When the music feels like this
DJ take control and grab a hold of me
Spin that wheel
Tell me how to feel
I like the shape I'm in
When music feels like this
Let the music in
Let the DJ spin
Let the music in
'Coz the music should feel like this
Feel the music
Aerosmith
You're so bad, you're so bad, you're so
You're so bad, you're so bad
You think you're in love
Like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall
You get your ass in a sling
You used to be strong
But now it's ooh baby please
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone elses name
There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
You're so bad you're so bad you're so bad
You're so bad you're so bad
Chip off the old block
Man you're so much like your sister
My fantasize it must be out of luck
My old labido has been blowing a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck
Yeah
I'm Jonesin' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will but there ain't no guarentees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
What are you looking for
It's got to be hard core
Must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
Own it, own it, own it!
You're so bad you're so bad you're so bad
You're so bad you're so bad
You Ain't that good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad
I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own
There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone and your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
I'm Jonesin' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will yeah
But there ain't no gurantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
