No Rain 07:35
It's the start of a brand new day The kids, they run, kids, they play And I see you walking my way and I, I run to meet you halfway there With a yellow flower in your hair There's something burning in the air tonight I pick my head up as I rise I taste the fruit between your thighs And I like you, you're just my size Your kiss, like mother's milk, is sweet Your tongue causes change in my heartbeat You are everything I need My pain is gone away No rain can stop us today The way light dances off your face The way your fingertips do taste Seems everything falls into place for you and I Stare up at me, down from the grass And in my head, time moves so fast Forever, I wish this could last, tonight So I will take you by the hand Walking where the sidewalk ends 'Cause I'm not a boy, I am a man Only you will ever know Just how deep my love-ocean flows 'Cause only you make my heart grow I have seen your light No rain could stop us tonight And then the night falls And the sun is gone from the sky And the darkness Makes room for you and I And your love Keeps taking me higher Before the day Burns out with the fire Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, baby Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, baby Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, baby I am dying for you, baby No rain can stop me, baby I am dying for you, baby No rain can stop me, baby

Come On 03:16
Come on, come on, take a ride with me And we'll go dancing tonight Grab your boots, but no hair ties Drop the roof, you can stand up Stand up for whatever ya' like Buildings gonna be so red from our paint We've got nothing to lose so Come on, come in You know I love Chasin' the time Away with you Come on, come in You know this might Be our last chance To be alive I don't want nothing to slow us down So you can leave your worries in the back Just right where they belong I've got a rainbow of a surprise Waiting for you down at the end of this tunnell But that's just where, where we begin so Come on, come in You know I love Chasin' the world Away with you Come on, you know Tonight the show (Just once) is us So what are you gonna do? Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on, come in You know this might Be our last chance To be alive And if it all falls down I'll be there to pick you up just like I always do And we can walk this town 'Til we're hanging on by the soles of our shoes Come on, come in You know I love Chasin' the sky Away with you Come on, come in You know this might Be our last chance To be alive Come on, come in You know I love Kissin' the world Away with you Come on, you know Tonight the show (Just once) is us So what are you gonna do? Come on Come on Come on Come on Come on, come in You know this might Be our last chance To be alive

All The Way 04:46
"I want my own air I want my own skin," You said to me "'Cause I've got my own hands I've got my own life The life-of-me And I will move on 'Cause I am myself My own thing." Well, I will give you that But you can be your own thing With me What is this love That's got you running Away from me? Am I that bad? Am I unkind? Your enemy? Just like always I'm losing myself, Myself to me Sometimes That's just how my love Has got to be Soft-spoken, I'm thinking: "Walk away" But you hold me back, but you reel me in all the way And I'd like to break free of all the chains you got me living in I'd like to go all the way with you, baby Who is this love That's calling himself 'Replacement-me'? You're losing my hands You're losing my heart The best of me And when it's all Falling apart Then you'll see You won't find Anyone much better Than me Soft-spoken, I'm thinking: "Walk away" But you hold me back, but you reel me in all the way And I'd like to break free of all the chains you got me living in I'd like to go all the way with you, baby I my dreams I hold your hand I caught your lips in mine Your voice calls my name You're smiling bright lights And my hands are over and Under you, open wide And no one will take you I am yours and you are my life

David Jones 01:19
Strange things always come around Strange things always come around And if it's love I will take you down And if it's love I will take you down

Song No. 3 04:21
Hop onto my pirate ship; we'll sail away from the shore We float on top of all the waves that try to spill us overboard Who needs a government? I'll be commander of the sea I'll give my speeches to an audience of one who'll listen To me Alone I'll walk the plank for you It seems We're lost I'll build a house for you The wind Can blow I'll bottle it for you From me Alone I'll walk the plank for you Come aboard my ship; the waves will take us wherever we're led We don't need a map, we will sail toward the sun up ahead I am the David Jones of all the hearts of the sea I'll be the Master-in-Command and take whatever does belong To me Alone I'll walk the plank for you It seems We're lost I'll build a house for you The wind Can blow I'll bottle it for you From me Alone I'll walk the plank for you
7.
Go Away 05:09
Go ahead rest your eyes Come the morning, everything will be all right ’Cause I'm sleeping by your side Make room under covers for our dreams to hide Before we say “Goodnight” Draw the curtains closed You're dressed up naked in your skin with no place to go I wanna go down real slow Close my eyes and I taste you, I feel you, you, only you And all the others go away I like the taste of your mouth The way my kisses go in and your tongue comes out I won't let you down Promise me you'll stay till morning; you'll be screaming out loud Heard the world around I see that look in your eyes Feel your breath hot on my chest and your hands on my thighs You are the moon in my night Look up into the sky and I see you, I see you, only you Tell the others: “Go away”
8.
The Tent 04:30
You said you needed some time alone A place to rest your eyes and rest your bones Built a house on the water that you called home Said you wanted a life you could call your own But I saw you dead You left your job and you left your friends You didn't tell anyone about your plans Your got into your boat and went for the sand I promise not to tell anyone about where you've been When I found you dead Now the moon is high and the water is dark And the light from your eyes shines in the stars And the breath from your lungs is the breeze across my arms And your voice in my head calls out to me I will wait for you when your bones are dry and cold I will wait for you when you're crying out your soul I will wait for you after all the days have grown old I will wait for you ’til the water takes me away
9.
Winter Song 08:09
Cold in my mouth, on my lips Protect me from my warming heart Beats too loud, beats too fast I can't catch up to it I won't be alarmed, be afraid Of fingers approaching mine Intertwined, five on five Between the spaces, the spaces You and I and the words we could not Bring ourselves to say, we both were quite afraid Like children starting their first day of anything I felt your breath across my face—what's that you said? you said? you said? “Don't let go, I need you, love me.” Red in your cheeks, in your hair Reminds me Spring is on its Waking me up next to you Inside of hair all red I won't run away when I find Your mouth around my own It tastes like the cold of my heart Before I found your fingers You and I make love so wide And blue as the sky; your tongue, the night I heard a voice fly away into the darkness of your room And then a breath, I felt your mouth, it moves, it moves, it moves “Don't let go, I need you, love me.”
10.
I 06:52
Baby, when I think about you All I wanna do is get down On my knees and pray to the God of all To take my soul today It's all I wanna do It's all I wanna do Baby, when I see your face I've all I can do to wipe the Tears from my eyes Lord, let me go today All I wanna do is get down on my knees And pray to the good Lord above Someone else would take my place Loving you is a dangerous game Shotgun to my head Blood rush to my bones I I I I wake up covered in my blood Soaked in my sweat Choked me from my sleep Loving you is a dangerous game And I wanna play again, I wanna play again I'll shoot the dice for you baby It's all I wanna do When I think about you It's a lightning bolt from the sky You shot me, girl Arrow through my brain A million pieces You've got me blown away I I I
11.
I was looking out into the dark, dark night Just to pass the time, clear my head as I do And I thought: How could birds fly high like the airplane Without my eyes which I use to see you? It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long What if I took my last breath, stole it from your mouth On top of everything else I took that you once knew? Would I be someone you'd learn, learn to stay away from? Or would I be someone, someone just like you? It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long Maybe it's the right time to speak from my mouth And not my heart as I always do Then maybe things could work out for the best And you could get to know me and I could know you too It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long It won't be long

Sex In Space 05:40
Well it’s about that time for things to get physical And throw Newton’s apple right out the window ’Cause we’re going to a far away place That’s right… making love in space We’re gonna get down in zero Gs Where liquids make spheres like your double Ds Gotta use straps, can’t hold on myself Like astronaut Buzz on Gemini 12 No need to play it safe, you see I like it raw I’ll use my liquid filled hammer to fight Newton’s Third Law Get ready for liftoff, all systems engaged Me and you, baby boo, we’s about to have sex in space Well, just how am I gonna get witchu So we could have ourselves a lunar orbit midnight rendezvous? Fo’ sho’ we gots ta use protection When we perform the transorbital injection Then wait a minute, some freaky things are ’bout to go down We gotta undock so you can do your turnaround Rejoin the modules and get to for what I’ve been searchin’ That’s right… Lunar Orbital Insertion We got plenty of room, no need to argue You can fit two people in your lunar module Then I’ll fire my rockets above your surface For a real smooth landing, that’s how I work it Don’t do it for me, do it for all the nations Let me dock in to your Space Station Get ready for liftoff, all systems engaged Me and you, baby boo, we’s about to have sex in space Let me take that giant leap for mankind Do what no one’s done before and explore your far side Get your cameras ready, check out my Earthrise We can beat the Russians, baby, and fly to the moon tonight ’Cause you know it feels right You know what they say: “Love the one you’re with” We’ll we’ve got a soft surface on the regolith Don’t have to worry, let me do what I do ’Cause my service module uses hypergolic fuel When the dust settles we’ll be on our way And I hope to return on another day I’ll be countin’ ’til liftoff, all systems engaged Me and you, baby boo, I can’t wait to have sex in space

December 04:21
Suddenly, I begin to fall Down, alone, hard against my face And I feel so numb Everything is falling apart in my hands It seems everything is breaking down I had the greatest month of my life And it was December I had given up all of my life In that December Here it comes, a tidal wave of all I am for you, spilling across the shore And it takes me down Who am I to tell you how I feel? I like when I can feel as if I'm all alone I'm having the greatest month of my life I feel December I'm giving up every piece of my life It is December Oh my God, everything surrounding me is a mess Why does all this happen to me? I feel so lost All the time I try to work things out in my head But then I never can believe myself To make things better I've had the greatest month of my life And it was December I gave everything I had in my life In that December I hate everything about my life When I'm in December I'm having the greatest month of my life It is December

Save all the rain And save all the blood The days are almost over Our day has almost come And I have seen the face And I have felt the light We are chosen To see through the night The lamb has opened The words I could not read The lamb has broken Through what I could not see And it's over I was dreaming of the day when you would come along Hold my hand and save me from myself And help me fight the war against all the ghosts in my head That take command of my sleep when I'm trying to rest Though I may be forgotten And though someday I will die My hands are open My mouth is open wide And I've seen the face And I've seen the light We have been chosen To see through the night And it's over I was dreaming of the day when you would come along Hold my hand and save me from myself And help me fight the war against all the ghosts in my head That take command of my sleep when I'm trying to rest I close my eyes and see the end of the world And all the people who threw their hands in the air My mother cried, he son was leaving, never to return again The ghosts, they got me, they got in my head

Your Wings 04:20
You got me wrapped in your wings Fairy tales and fluffy white things Fly away with me to the moon We don't have to come back soon It's so hard to get along Always knowing your gone So tie me up in your balloon We don't have to come back soon All day I wait for you My love won't break for you I'll give my name to you If you'll say You'll carry me along the road And help me find my way home And pick me up when I am blue Then you'll be mine forever, too Sometimes it's hard to hold My love for you in my soul But always with you I know You'll say You'll wrap me up in your wings Fairy tales and fluffy white things And fly away with me to the moon We don't have to come back soon
