DESIRE - 08/10/1988
1 week at #1 - 8 weeks on chart

Yeah
Lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire

She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, Desire

Feel the fever getting higher
Desire, Desire
Burning, Burning

She's the dollars, she's my protection
She's the promise in the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show
For the love of money, money,money, money, money
Money, money,money, money, money, money
Feel the fever getting higher
Desire, Desire
Desire, Desire
Desire, Desire

Desire, Desire
Desire, Desire
Desire, Desire

THE FLY - 02/11/1991
1 week at #1 - 6 weeks on chart

Oh, baby child

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Over love

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

Oh, yeah
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange

DISCOTHEQUE - 15/02/1997
1 week at #1 - 11 weeks on chart

You can reach, but you can't grab it
You can't hold it, control it, you can't bag it
You can push, but you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no, you cannot connect it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is, but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey dovey stuff

You get confused, but you know it
Yeah you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it

Let go, let's go, discotheque
Go go let go discotheque

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head

It's no trick, you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay
'Cos you can't earn it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is, but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey dovey stuff

Let go, let's go, discotheque
Go go let go discotheque

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
I want to be the song
The song that you hear in your head

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
Oh you know there's something more
But tonight, tonight, tonight

Boom cha
Boom cha
Discotheque
Boom cha
Boom cha
Discotheque
Boom cha
Boom cha
Discotheque
Boom cha
Boom cha
Discotheque
Boom cha
Boom cha
Discotheque

BEAUTIFUL DAY - 21/10/2000
1 week at #1 - 16 weeks on chart

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road, but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over, and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light, and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

(Day)
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now

It was a beautiful day

VERTIGO - 20/11/2004
1 week at #1 - 6+ weeks on chart

(Unos, dos, tres, catorce)
(Turn it up loud, captain)

Lights go down
It's dark, the jungle is
Your head can't rule your heart
A feeling so much stronger
Than a thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can't be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello, hello
(Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(Dond' esta)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel

The night is full of holes
These bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle
As the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they know

I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music

Hello, hello
(Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(Dond' esta)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel

Shot dead
Shots fall
Show me, yeah

All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt

Hello, hello
(Hola)
We’re at a place called Vertigo
(Dond' esta)
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how
How to kneel
Kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN - 19/02/2005
1 week at #1

Tough
You think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone you're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches for you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

She says it
I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all
Can you hear me when I am singing
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera's in me
Hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that's so hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
