Please please me



Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you

You don't need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say, love

Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Come on (come on), come on (come on)
Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart)
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to reason with you
oh yeah, why do you make me blue?

Last night I said…

Believer



First things first
I'm going to say all the words
Inside my head
I'm fired up and tired
Of the way that things have been
The way that things have been
Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail
I'm the master of my sea
The master of my sea

I was broken from a young age
Taken my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look to me, took to me
Shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up
Believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life my love my drive it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard
Has turned your spirit to a dove
Your spirit up above
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived
Ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up
Believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life my love my drive it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future
The blood in my veins
The blood in my veins
But they never did, ever lived
Ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and rained down
And rained down, like...

Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up
Believer, believer
Pain!
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life my love my drive it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Space oddity



Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on

Ground control to major Tom
Commencing countdown
Engines on
Check ignition
And may God's love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is Ground Control
To Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know
Whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
If you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
In a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
One hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Ground control to major Tom
Your circuit's dead
There's something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you....?

Here am I floating
Round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
